♥ Enzo’s Dolphin ♥
Finally a bit of free time today to draw out a painting and do a bit of wood-burning. This is something I’m making for Enzo. I’ve been following his mother’s blog and have been very touched by her story. Enzo’s wish is to swim with the dolphins so I decided after emailing briefly with his mom that I would paint a picture for his room so he will be able to cherish his memory once his wish is granted. This is going to be a very fun painting as I know where it’s going and it’s my first major project after several stressful months of house hunting and packing. This will be very therapeutic for me. I can’t wait to start digging through my paints and papers and all my mixed media medicine!
Today is another sunny day here in the Pacific Northwest so I took advantage of the beautiful lighting and took a picture out the stair landing window. We have a gorgeous maple tree outside that will bring many seasons of joy and color!
Won’t this tree be absolutely gorgeous all summer and then when it turns in the fall it will be like a painting that changes daily with colors.
Saturday will be our 2nd week in our new home and it’s such a joy to wake up in such a big house and have so much room to wiggle about in. It’s very strange to be in such a vast space after living the “apartment” life for the past 10 years. I can you that I absolutely LOVE it though!
It’s Whispering Wednesday once again and time to share a secret or two about myself…so here goes!
- I save all the greeting cards I get and make boxes with some of them.
- I still haven’t hung my clothes up… they are all still packed in garbage bags ~ I’ve been alternating my shorts and tee shirts on a bi-daily basis. (SO much work to do – I don’t need to muck up all my clothes… just a few!)
