Days 229 - 237

Felt that these past few days I have allowed situations and circumstances to interfere with my creativity.  Felt very rushed most of the time and didn't give myself the space to be able to fit in posting. A tiny camera glitch took away some photos.. so I don't have the steps in my reconnection painting.
Last night I couldn't sleep and had to make some quick sketches. Turned out they were angels.
I ended up having to take pictures of my kindle with my phone as the program wouldn't allow me to email them.
Hehe, never a dull moment.

Days 219 - 228 Balance? What is that?

Been a few days since I posted on my blog, and its all for a simple reason: I tried to manage my time and as usual failed miserably.
Everyone knows that you can only manage your activities! Well between Work, painting, picking out floors and colors for my room the Olympics  and a meteor shower I was overextended :(
But the plus side is that I finished the "Reiki" painting, picked the colors for my room, and am between 2 different color floors but awaiting an estimate before I make my final decision.

Sunday night my friends Jaime and Nora picked me up and we went for a couple of hours to
Valley Forge to see the meteor shower. I have become such a city girl, that I forgot how chilly it becomes at night when you are out in nature. My camera got wet from the moisture in the air ... so no pics of the meteors. We were blessed by seeing a few, but it was not a shower of meteors by any means. When I came home I stepped out on the terrace and saw one that seemed so close i could touch it!  

Now to figure out how can I improve on managing all my activities :D

Days 216 - 218 New Circle paintings - "Energy" Series

I have been a busy bee!  Finished my 2 paintings and learned a new skill : Soldering

New skill!!!

I had to fix something using the solder so I figured good opportunity to experiment. Em... I was messy and since I had not done this before I didn't realize that the flux splatters :( Even though the experiment worked I did ruin my dominos, as the flux burned the resin.  Now I know better.

Can I say again how much I love circles???? These 2 paintings took a long time to make because of the small scale. But am so happy with the results.

Day 214 More storms

Once again the skies darkened and thunder made the windows rattle. I tried to capture lightning, a very good attempt but Zeus made sure that I got NONE!  LoL. There was a rainbow but it was so light it did not show in the pictures , but caught a little sliver of the sky's third attempt. :D
Gathered my second harvest of my terrace basil. It's laying on the table now getting ready to dry!
On the creative front, I finally picked up my watercolors again and an underwater theme just dripped out of my brushes. Felt really good to paint.
