Let's Go

I started this illustration yesterday.

I'm still working on it, but I feel like it's coming together and will be done soon. I saw this beach wood structure on the beach during our camping trip last month. I loved how it looked and I love it when people create shelters like this on the beach.

Work in progress.

I always ask my self, "Why?", when I see things like this. Why did they feel compelled to put it together? Did they really need the shelter? Maybe they were bored? Maybe they needed a place to spend the night?

Inspiration.

Whatever the reason it is that they built it, I like it.

It's True

I loved all the responses that I received with my last blog post.
Thank you.

I'm glad I'm not alone with this. I often wonder, as most bloggers do, how much is too much to show? How much do I really want people to know? I don't have an answer, but I guess that's okay too. I'm just happy that other people were able to identify with what I wrote. Thank you.

Yesterday was really good. I was so busy I didn't have a chance to write a post. So I'm doing it tonight. I got two new paintings started! Woot woot! Little typewriters. Chloe joined me in the studio. We have some shared space heaters now, so I grabbed one and set it up next to a little bed that I made for Chloe. She seemed to love it and napped most of the day.

I then went to the grocery store and bought food! Food to make stuff with! Yes! It's true.
I made coconut rice with honey marinated egg plant and some lime cilantro chicken. Whew! It was quite a task. Everything was going really well until I realized that I slightly under cooked the rice...while trying to fix the rice things just kind of fell apart. I over cooked the chicken and the egg plant and I don't think I fully recovered the rice....

BUT! I tried. That is the important thing. Yes.

and of course, by certain miracle, I photographed it all! The picture quality is not great, I need to invest in a nice camera, but you get the idea ;)

Well, it's late. It's been a long day and Chloe is ready for snuggles.
Hope you all are well. xo
