i have started the new year creating new art
letting myself trust the process and letting it lead me instead of the other way around
something different
and it feels great!

art is still the one thing Lilian occupies herself with the most when having “down time”
and lately whether at home or at her tuesday art classes, she has created some amazing things
happy ARTsy wednesday friends
some recent work by Lilian
it’s hard to keep track of and to photograph her work these days
she’s always working within lots of notebooks as well as doing a lot of digital art on her tablet
but i try to keep up…

Lilian’s interpretation of me with my little indoor jungle
a bluejay
painting with only three colors
without mixing said colors

stitched water color marker pieces

dream state
2020
by the time some of you read this (does anyone come here anymore though?), i will be on my way to los angeles to spend one of my bestie’s 50th birthday with her
it’s been three years since i was in california and despite everything, i am looking forward to spending time with her and being there
i first fell in love with the west coast when i was 18 and it has always held a special place in my heart
if you know me, you know that i hate flying and am totally nervous about it because every time i fly, i think i’m going to die
this time is no different
covid or no covid
so… in case anything happens to me, i’d like to be cremated and, i’d like my ashes to be sprinkled in the ocean
that ocean being at the beacch in monte gordo portugal, ocean beach san diego and/or southbeach
i also leave everything to my daughter Lilian (sorry honey)
yes, there you have it, a small will right here on the blog (being written at 4:30am because i couldn’t sleep)
fingers crossed all goes well and i make it safely across
happy ARTsy wednesday friends!
liar liar
disconnected connections
burden
black and blue
i will say more when i feel less
i’ll call you
dreams like feet better than knees
i have returned to stitching
this time on thick watercolor paper
there is something about stitching that is very therapeutic to me
even more so than oils, acrylics or watercolors
i have been busy creating 6″x9″ little stitched pieces of art just about every day
one thing has to be said about this pandemic year, i have created more art this year than i have any other year

contemplation
on the weeks when i have the school pod here, while the girls are busy with school work upstairs in the “school room”, i try to keep myself busy downstairs
while they are here, i am here in the house as well
from 8am until 3pm
most of the time i keep myself busy by making rainbow makers and restocking my etsy shop however, lately i have been busy creating smaller art pieces
i am trying to find ways to be financially independent once again
something i always was but have not been for the past 11 years
slowly but surely, right?
