Lovely painting Irene. So glad to hear you made time for yourself to create. You are not an amateur. I don't believe any artist is an amateur. You are you and what you create comes from you. So in my humble opinion when you say amateur you are discounting your creativity. Now believe me, I say these words as an affirmation to myself because I often wonder what creativity lies within me. And we tend to criticize whatever it is we produce. So I want you to grow with me and embrace what you have created in a way that honors our very own Creator. And I commit to doing the same.😘
Thank you Barbara for pointing this out to me, I have a bad habit of putting myself down and hopefully by the time I finish this challenge I will get better at this. Let’s both grow together, i love this idea. See you soon at the zoom meeting?
I'll be there! And the only reason I recognized this in you is because I do the same thing! I also hope to grow to love my creations with this challenge and recognize they are an extension of our Great Creator.🙏❤️
Great see you soon. I’m on my way to work, I will try and have an early lunch break so I can join the meeting for support. The meetings are not the best time for me on Monday morning at 8:30 am so fingers crossed that I will have no emergencies at the hospital so I can take my break in time.
I love your painting and I haven’t tried dragging my painting stuff by natures as I hike with my hiking buddy most times. I am used to traveling alone to visit my siblings now that Ralph is retired looking forward for him to travel with me. I hardly had a day or weekend alone 🤣 as I have always my little people and their friends in our home.
Mean these are beautiful paintings and I’m proud that you did your solo date. I do mini solo dates because if I didn’t life would be boring waiting on others to join me.
Good for you Irene. Lovely display of artistry as usual. My date this week consisted of painting rocks with my acrylic paints. I did have a mother and her three young daughters come over to me and ask what I was doing. I explained and they went on their way. Actually was a lot of fun.
Irene, I have not. I have been doing the morning pages and plan to continue to do them. They help me clear my head. I am going to try to be on the calls to support everyone. You have asked me several times about my health. Just so you know, my cancer has flared back up and I am taking a new medicine for it. Also, because of a couple test and some stuff going on in my head I am also seeing a neurologist. But with all of this I have no doubt that God has it. Take care and live life to the fullest.
Irene it was a beautiful day so I went and lay in the paddock staring at the sky until my cousin called to say that the bulls in the paddock had seen me and were coming to investigate so I was out of there very quickly.

Ha ha you have been a busy bee 🐝 with all your little people. I hope you find a few minutes to yourself to do something fun that you enjoy 😉
What a beautiful way to spend some quiet time, with the best back drop and doing something you love.. 🎨 🌅
So beautiful - both the writing and the painting
Thank you dear Angela 💜

How cool 😎 I love painting rocks , I bet you had lots of fun 🤩
Yes indeed
Beautiful reflection. Awesome painting. Your talents are amazing, but not surprising.
Thank you Skip , did you have an artist day yourself before?
Irene, I have not. I have been doing the morning pages and plan to continue to do them. They help me clear my head. I am going to try to be on the calls to support everyone.

Looks like you had a wonderful time to paint & create. 🎨💖🤗

Very beautiful painting, Irene, you are extremely talented.
Thank you Cheryl 🤩

Thank you Janie 🤩
Irene it was a beautiful day so I went and lay in the paddock staring at the sky until my cousin called to say that the bulls in the paddock had seen me and were coming to investigate so I was out of there very quickly.
I will be there, actually Irene I am loving this. Morning pages are such a good brain dump.
I’m also enjoying my morning pages which is more like evening pages for me. See you tomorrow 😉
That sounds wonderful Ann . Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at the zoom meeting. See you at cluster 7 breakout room my kiwi friend 💜
You have written so beautifully about your Artists solo date. You are an artist in so many ways.
Thank you Juli , have you had your artist date yet?
Yes. I can’t leave my house for another week so I am painting seashells. I am not great but it has been fun.
