Today I Don't Feel Like Doing Anything

Let's face it - I've become quite fond of the slow pace of a pandemic. Sleeping in. Pajamas all day.  Nowhere to be except in the park with the dog.  Reading on the porch.  Watching crows (clouds, squirrels, cats, flowers in the breeze).  Staying up too late and not worrying about it.  Letting things go at whatever pace they wish.  No hurry EVER.

But now and again a person has to attend to the things that need attending to.  Which might cause a week to get very, very busy.  And regular clothes to be worn, cars to be driven, errands to be run.  As if things were back to "normal."   Which felt amazing for a minute...until I thought HEY NOW, WHERE ARE MY PAJAMAS AND WHY AREN'T THEY ON MY BODY?  
I gave myself a little talking to and decided to take a play day.  Restore the balance!  You can, too.  Bruno Mars says so.  Are you going to argue with Bruno?

About the works in process: take a couple of wood panels and throw all your leftover paint on there.  Scribble some quirky figures with a paint pen.  Start adding color until their personalities begin to shimmer.  Then take a day off and leave your dear readers on the edge of their seats until the next post. :)

Enjoy your day off! I’m in busy, busy mode for next few days but will relish relaxing after arriving on loggerhead key and getting our gear to the house!

Bruno Mars! Inspired! Totally hit my funny bone and my lazy bone : )

THANK YOU for your process shots. I could identify with and envision myself creating something akin to what I saw in the first photo. Then, I just had to stop and stare. Have I EVER taken starts such as those and scribbled in some quirky figures with a pen? Any figures at all, even if not quirky? Ever? I think not.

It IS a little hard to relax, perched as I am on the edge of my seat, but take your time, Jen, take your time. No hurry.

Dotty! Let the scribbling begin! After you take a lazy day, of course. I promise not to leave you on the edge of your seat for long...ha ha!

Here's the blue wild, where
tiny dreamers ride beasts, speak
​ birdsong, hold the moon.
