It's been a while...

I really needed to read this post today and it prompted me to finally get out my glue, oil pastels and bits and pieces to do some art journalling....it's been a while and my creating space is rather a mess to work in.

The prompt asked for a photo of the moon but I just felt like splashing some colour about to start. Spraying some colour wash around the edge of a paper plate served to just get me started. It's been so long that I just needed to go with the colour and shape.

What I really wanted to do was paint and layer and spend loads of time just messing...ended up recording my thoughts with a lot of words - perhaps too many.... but time is so short....so wanted to capture my feelings today.

It's been a really challenging week again and I am drowing in work...but at the same time I love it. Not sure it's so good for me though, in fact I am sure that it's not. I've been in a real funk again lately, this morning was the first Saturday morning for quite some time I've not cried my way through.

I'm a little bit exhausted really and that's all it is. My choice for now though it seems as if choices are limited right now. I'm loving this quote from the blog post above...

"The details of our challenges and limits need not define us. We are who we say we are; and we do what we must until we can do what we choose."

  1. I am so glad you have an outlet for all your thoughts and feelings. I have been feeling stuck lately as well. It seems as each day is just waking up and doing what I have to do to make it to bedtime. Same thing the next day...

  3. I saw that you had posted a page from your art journal and I meant to comment and say I've missed seeing your artwork, but got caught up in my own writing and blogging, so sorry for the delay. It's good to be motivated by a prompt word and then to go with whatever flows from your heart and express what's happening in your life. I like the words and phrases you've chosen... gentle transformation, she felt the darkness shifting, she noticed the moonlight, possibilities. I've also enjoyed seeing your photos you've posted this week. When I think of you I think of your walks by the sea, the beach, the sky and the flying bird photos.
