illustration friday -memories


My son - painted 2000, painted from a photos of him taken infront of the Evansville Museum of Art. Memories of that day, being with my kids, enjoying art. Memories of being in college getting my art degree. Memories of feeling more confident making art and that my art was going somewhere.

Vacation all I ever wanted .. vacation happy to get away....

Yes the Go-Go's song is going around in my head. I've been on my mini vacation from work since Wednesday and it's been really great!!!!

We went on a nature hike, art supply shopping, out for lunch, out for ice cream, visited two art museums, took lots of photos, looked into our new idea about biking everywhere in the next year, did a little random exploring of the town, went to a flea market, napped.... and the fun continues.

It will be hard to go back... or will it??? Tonight I just feel tired.. going to do a movie night. Tomorrow going to see our son's concert, I will probably sew some more curtains for our daughter's room and hopefully get some painting done on a new painting I just finished drawing out on canvas......

Let the vacation continue.

Oh I did want to say that Penelope posted "the plan" and it's a great read. I really enjoyed it for many reasons... Life is challenging in good and bad ways but if we can see that it's for our higher good some how... it's much easier to keep on chugg'in.

Birthday promises to myself have not yet manifested but the intention is still there.
School will be starting soon. Fall will be upon us and I am taking a mini vacation and hope to explore these promises to myself more fully, as well as, doing some jump starting to my creativity. Something I have been doing since my big 4 0 birthday is re-thinking life's possibilities, reminiscing, and exorcising some old feelings, beliefs and habits. Oh and also some creative writing.

Wish me LUCK!
