The Long Silence

Wow... It's been five months since I last posted anything. A LOT has happened since then. 

We moved, my youngest graduated from 8th grade, my daughters have gone to camps and back, my husband and I traveled to Canada to celebrate 20 years of marriage (gulp... we are so  old! haha) and so much more. Our lives have certainly been full. 

Did I mention we moved?!! It was the hardest move I've ever made. I'm pretty sure it took some years off my life. I won't get into the specifics, but trust me when I tell you that I do not want to ever. move. again! Where we live now (just a few towns away) is just perfect for us. I certainly miss my house in the peaceful woods, but we have more space here and it suits the whole family's needs. 

I've still been carving out time to create, just a bit more sporadic. I can't wait for winter! It's a time when my household is settled in and there are less reasons to go out and more reasons to paint and create. Since my last post, I have taken two art classes: a drawing class with the amazing and talented Deb Vendetti and a watercolor painting class with the also amazing and talented Holly Smith. I've learned so much from them both.  

I am posting a random assortment of things I've worked on since last March. Hopefully, this is the start to getting back on track to posting weekly and to paint and/or create daily.
