proteas left over from my mother's funeral arrangement.I deliberately put aside all things creative these past few weeks in an attempt to focus on household things, my mother's funeral and family business. Although I have been really busy, thoughts of paintings kept creeping in. My fingers have been itching to pick up a paintbrush again and my soul needs to get smoochy with colour again!
Yesterday I topped up my art supplies and bought an A3 watercolour block of paper and two tubes of purple paint in a particular shade I have been trying to mix, yet could only manage to create a muddy aubergine - I gave in, took the shortcut and bought it! Since one of my sisters has put in a request for a fish painting I have some inspiration to work from.
Today has been cool, grey & rainy and I am looking forward to curling up on my lounge tonight to read 'Picasso & His Collection' a book my sister brought back from a visit to this exclusive exhibition held in Brisbane at the Gallery of Modern Art.
I must try doing some sketching in ink, like this...
Patti it is good to hear from you. I have been thinking of you in this time after your mom's death. good that you have been tending to lower chakra tasks. they can be soothing to do sometimes i think. but now you are looking fWD to more painting and maybe sketching. Wonderful. Blessings, Suki
ReplyDeleteps i have never seen this flower. nor even heard of it. thank you. very lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you'll be returning to your painting shortly. Family business, especially when a death is involved, is so draining. I know you will need to recharge with your art. Peace, Patti!
ReplyDeleteSo many delicious things. What a nice sister, too.
ReplyDeletePatti,,,the floral arrangement is lovely...I hope you are doing okay in your period of grief. Nice that the paints are calling to you.
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you on my blog when you feel like coming to get it.
