I will start blogging more regularly again soon. My husband was away last week and I struggled. Physically and mentally worn. We are going to a favorite vacation spot for Christmas! I'm looking forward to that. My elbow hurts a lot. I tried tonight to wipe down the refrigerator, and just lifting the bottle of … Continue reading Updates

Day 1
We lost power around 3 am. We couldn't get the generator on until close to 4 pm. The generator can't run the ac or the stove or most of our outlets, so I'm hoping this is the one and only day of no power, but we'll see. The storm swung south, so it wasn't as … Continue reading Day 1
Busyness
Busy week. I hung out with my mom on FaceTime one day, and my dad the next. I love talking to my parents. Today a package arrived - always a special event living on this island, it seems like. In the box was a set of Sennelier iridescent soft pastels I am so excited to … Continue reading Busyness

We went to the … Continue reading Double Sleepover

Can you bring it for me? I'm sorry." Since it is her first time forgetting anything this year, and … Continue reading Life
Instagram, Studio Life
I reinstated my writing Instagram, but not my trad account. I missed my small community on the writing account. And a record of the last decade of my life. I've been on it a lot less though. So the other night my husband took me by surprise. I can't remember exactly what we were talking … Continue reading Instagram, Studio Life
Art Brut
I found an amazing book on Outsider Art and Art Brut. As I read it, I began to see myself and my art. I have no art degree. I am mentally ill. My art is raw and unpolished. I am an outsider. My art has a place in the world and art tradition. Art Brut … Continue reading Art Brut
