Well,
Since I last wrote I shared with all that I am without home, and as of today it is still the same. Our condo is in limbo hell and although I have settled into a comfortable routine at my friend's home it is still not my own place. I wish I had my lavender bedroom back, but I suppose all in time.
I did not pick up a brush and put it to canvas until July, and it was comforting in many aspects because I knew that familar feeling of creating was creeping in on me again. It was a painting that was TOTALLY different from anything I have ever done, but somewhat more thought provoking too. Either way I loved it, and hope to show them at next year's show(s).
In other good news my daughter has BLOSSOMED in our current situation and has been creating some AMAZING artwork-so good in fact that I am currently working on a site for both of us called the Artful Taina.
So-that's pretty much what's going on- over all I have done about 20 art pieces in various forms (wood boxes primarily) for my friend to sell on Ebay, and I had a commissioned piece sent to Hawaii for the Turtle Conservation office where it now hangs next to my daughter's. I am already feeling the tickle of fall and even if winter is going to be spent at my friend's home for now-I have come to the acceptance that I can paint there and the work is still good!
J-
