Take Me Back to the River in the Forest

Oh, the river by the forest.

Thats the place for me.

The magic is so strong and pure.

My heart goes silly with inspiration. 

Even my terror of pelicans can't take away the joy I feel here.

Sorry fellas, no fishy snacks from me.

Son2 and I drank sweet handfuls of this magical fresh waterfall flowing onto the beach.

Feeling Mother Nature smiling at our grateful, cheesy grins, dripping with water.

Rainbows are always a gift, but just look at the stunning shades of blue peaking through the clouds.

And the ocean, wowsers.

I took the ocean palette to create a baby blanket which I worked on by the river.

It is finished and will recieve a post of its own after a photo shoot.

Goodbye to the forest and river were inevitable but one day I will call it home, though my heart already does.

At home I found my own rainbows.

When things go bad, sometimes all you can do is breathe through it.

Which is what I've been doing this last week.

So many what ifs, but an overwhelming gratitude for all that we have.

So keep doing what you do, look for the rainbows and make sure to breathe!

Autumn Happiness

What a crazy start to Autumn it has been.

Half way through and we were still getting nearly 40 degree days.

But a storm is upon us.

The temperature has dropped.

Wind has picked up.

And rain has been falling to give our gardens a much needed drink.

I love these days.

The boys are out of town, Boof is at work so i will enjoy the silence of the house and work on a jigsaw puzzle while drinking oodles of tea.

But first I lay in bed with KittyPuss snuggled in close, listening to the gentle rain outside my window.

I finished a new picture last week.

She needs a name yet.

I tried out a technique for the background and am super happy with how it turned out.

Darker than I had in mind but a beautiful contrast to the pink roses.

I have begun printing certain products with my art on to sell in my Etsy store.

Im still waiting for a few bits and pieces to arrive before I list them.

I cant wait to share it all with you!

I hope with all my might that lots of people will want a little piece of the Moon Circus in their homes or to share with friends.

I watch the moon ascend the night sky in wonderment.

The lunar rays wash over me and I absorb the inspiration.

I have a new idea....

Where's my sketchbook??
