Painting summer




This summer so far, has been a very mixed up one - sun and rain, in the outer, as well as in the inner world. Life has been intense - we went on a gorgeous trip to Italy, a very good friend of mine got seriously sick, we had  lovely visitors and went to an amazing art festival, another friend of ours suddenly and totally unexpectedly died ... 

Maybe that accounts for my temporary slowness in blogging - i feel a bit overwhelmed and have to let it all settle in. I've got tons of pictures from my camera to sort out, lots of work on my desk and lots of things i'd like to show you soon. For today, just a light little glimpse of something on my desk - a little fashion drawing i've been working on.

Hope you all got well into July and are having a fabulous week. Miss you and will come visit soon!

    My precious friend.......I am on a trip myself, out of state to see my one and only aunt that is left. She is failing in her health, and my blogging is sporadic at the moment, but I had to come by to see you. I extend my heart and arms to you as you are truly overwhelmed at the moment. Any time these unexpected changes happen, it throws us off our track. I love your choice of Picasso's quotes...he has become one of my favorite "poets" for in his art, he goes BEYOND the expected, in his words, he surprises and twists what we think we know into a new light.

    Be well, take TIME OFF and refocus. WE ARE HERE. LOVE TO YOU, Anita

    Martina-I'm so sorry about the sad events you're dealing with-that's a lot to take in. I hope you find some brightness to lift you up a little each day.

    Your sketch is beautiful by the way - so cheerful and bright.

    Oh my goodness! How tragic! I am so sorry to hear about your friend. Praying for you, Martina that you would be given, peace, hope and clarity.

    I love everything about this painting...the face, hair, sunglasses, dress and the sunny yellow.
