Foxy

Yes!

Today I ran 7 miles. I cleaned the house. I took Chloe for two walks, and then I painted.

I worked on this little fox painting for most of the afternoon. The deer painting got a little love, and I'm still trying to come up with something to paint on this little collage I made the other day.

I think the deer painting needs something else. Like, maybe it needs some trees, or some sort of pattern going on in the background. I dunno. It's something I need to think about.

In other news, my good friend sent me her childhood stamp collection with the instructions, "For artistic purposes only."

 It's so cool. Really. I feel like I need to make something so incredibly special with them. Some of them are so beautiful, and they are from all over the world. Maybe I'll share some of my favorites soon.

Winter

It's been so cold here! It snowed a bit yesterday, and this morning. My morning run today was a bit slippery, so I didn't get very far...

We haven't really left the house in a couple of days. We've been doing a lot of cooking and reading. I've been messing around with paint, paper and pencil. I'm not really sure what I'm doing, but I'm trying not to think about it too much. I'm trying to just let go a bit and do what comes naturally.

I like it.

Chloe has been trying to find the warmest spots in the house....

I also managed to get this deer painting listed on Etsy. Not really sure how I feel about it. I like it, I just feel like it seems out of place. But, maybe that's a good thing. Branching out, expanding and experimenting are all good things to do. So, I'm going to continue in that direction.
