Day 193 - Geisha in the Rain - #365somethings2018 I love painting geishas. Sometimes they morph into not so geisha like. I'm more comfy now that they want to show their other side. #indexcard #acrylics #geisha #intherain #taleswithfriendsDay 192 - Summertime - #365somethings2018 Sheba was disturbed last night and kept me up for most of it. My brain is not working well but I can still operate the brush. Another cloudy morning but I can dream of sunshine and flowers. Photo reference @terjeakke #indexcard #acrylics #summertime #taleswithfriendsDay 191 - The Forest - #365somethings2018 For some reason I'm thinking of Little Red Riding Hood tripping thru the forest to see her grandmother. I had to give her some light to guide her. Strange the things we think of when we're painting. #indexcard #acrylics #theforest #littleredridinghood #thoughts #taleswithfriendsMonday morning. I never tire of looking at this - the luminosity of the yellow leaves. How they light up the grey of the sky. #mondaymorning #leaves #luminosity #greysky #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDay 190 - The Cove - #365somethings2018 Photo reference @lisawang0910 #indexcard #acrylics #thecove #taleswithfriendsDay 189 - Geraniums- #365somethings2018 #indexcard #acrylics #watercolor #geraniums #taleswithfriendsCalling this finished. Simpler is better than too much detail. I could go on forever. As with any painting how much is enough and too much? I like the underside as much as the front. #placemat #freemotionembroidery #freemotionsewing #details #toomuch #notenough #taleswithfriendsDay 188 - The Lake - #365somethings2018 More trees. Well, I had leftover paint. I hate to waste and I've been slacking off. When I'm on a roll I might as well roll with it. Who knows what tomorrow brings. #indexcard #acrylics #watercolour #thelake #trees #onaroll #taleswithfriendsDay 187 - Crimson Red - #365simethings2018 Fascinated by autumn leaves and how they light up grey rainy days. And my new favourite red - crimson. #indexcard #acrylics #watercolour #autumnleaves #crimson #red #taleswithfriendsAn interesting find at the library the other day. I'm learning if I do my own check out, the scanner can't tell that it's a hot item. Then I can have it for 3 weeks instead of 1. I can renew it 2 more times which gives me 9 weeks instead of one. Cheating, I know but it's the only kind of cheating I can do. Feels good somehow. 😀 #hotitem #read #howtochangeyourmind #michaelpollan #library #taleswithfriends

FEASTING
It’s the day after the fast. I had to do a little adjusting in the morning. I listened to my body. I did not go to my aerobics class. I knew that when I went to bed last night. My … Continue reading

LANGUISHING
It is Tuesday morning, a day off. Funny how I still think of days off when I’m retired. Those words have been a part of my vocabulary for so many years. You get two nurses together, the conversation mostly sounds … Continue reading

HOW I SPEND MY DAYS
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. – Annie Dillard I wish I could write such insights as Annie Dillard. But then I’m not a Pulitizer winning authour. She has written many books. I … Continue reading
