"Be Kind to You" (goat) - acrylic on panel, 8" x 8". Ready to hang. Available at The Salty Teacup.

An unexpected hiatus last week kept me out of the studio and away from the paints. But sometimes these things are big ol' blessing bombs, as I feel rejuvenated and filled with new ideas again. One is already in progress, but in the meantime these two upbeat beasties are heading off to the Salty Teacup today. Fresh off the easel and ready to replace their missing brethren who found new homes over the weekend.

These blog posts often appear like dandelions on my laptop - emerging without effort and in great numbers. Not today. I sit here stumped. Company arrives tomorrow, and the laundry is piled high. It nags me like the most unkind of mistresses. And since pre-company day is no time to throw out the "to do" list, I will leave you with this:

Laundry
textile mistress
trips, tangles, torments
demands
launches odor assaults until
I obey.

"Be Kind to You" (goat)

The blog is on vacation for the next week while we celebrate family and create more laundry. Happy 4th!

For me it’s a travel day for the 4th and final part of my trip visiting my brother and sister in law in San Francisco. I’ll have a mountain of editing to go when I return. As s bonus I knocked out 5 5x 8 watercolor sketches during my Seattle visit.

Nice messages that we have to remember all the time! Thanks... Love elephants especially and the goat is cute! I have to make a sign with my OWL!

We do indeed need to remember this! Thank you, Carol - and YES! The owl is a must!

LOVE the dandelion simile!

Be nice to you, be kind to you, be attentive to the laundry. All is well.

That new idea, already in progress? It'll flourish in response to your responsiveness to going with flow.
