what a difference some sun makes
after not having any sun for about 6 months now, it’s nice to finally see some, and 2 days in a row at that….now if only we could get it to coincide with a weekend.
i am in desperate need to go somewhere…anywhere…spring always makes me want to travel…but alas, school and money keep me home…..nevermind…perhaps i can at least take a day trip or two soon! I’ve decided that i can’t let school take up all of my time, so i’m doing my best to do all my reading/writing during the week so that i can least find a little time on the weekend to be creative.
and here’s a piece that i did this weekend:

I can definitely feel the sunshine in this piece – even if you probably created it before the sunny days started. Here’s to hoping that more sunshine comes your way!
As for school and your weekends, I had a supervisor once – who also taught classes at my school – who created sacred time, for lack of a better word, where under no circumstances would she work later than x time during the week and under no circumstances would she work on the weekends. Though with school you may not have the flexibility to say you will do no homework past a certain time of night during the week, you likely DO have the flexibility to get enough time during the week to get all of your assignments done and can designate the weekends as “no homework days under any circumstances, even during finals week.”
For her, it created a lot of peace and serenity and helped her to make a nice distinction between HER time and work time. You need some “me” time, it seems, even if you choose to spend that time with others, you need time that is always going to be clear of homework, other work, and other obligations. Having a free day or weekend just to catch up on chores around the house doesn’t cut it, either. Try to schedule so you can get ALL of your obligations completed during the week and if you can get your family to do the same, you will have some awesome family time on the weekend.
Best wishes and I’m still crossing my fingers that you’ll get more sun!

i’ll gladly give you some of our sun
i want to live somewhere where there’s not just summer and a bit a winter!
Yes Tracy I feel the same . We need to escape from the rainy winter and the routine .
Your painting is sunny and shows your desires . And the hat bring a note of strangeity and fantasy . It starts to be your signature .
Love

how about visiting my sunny country???
I like that picture.
That tree looks like Cousin it.
You are so talented. I love your work. This one kind of reminded me of walking into Alice in Wonderland, or at least, how it looked in my mind as a child. I liked it so much. -Kate
I recently moved to Georgia and Spring has sprung here gloriously. I love flowers and this place has trees that flower. It is beautiful. It is a good thing I am not allergic to pollen, though, because all this beauty comes with pounds of pollen.
The picture is very whimsical and thought provoking at the same time. Nice.
Thought you had disappeared. Glad to hear from you again and see your art!
A month ago , Tracy !

Wow! I thought you’d fallen off the earth. I know I have a few times. [insert wink here]
RYC: I’ll try it! The Miracle Ball!
I MISS the sunshine! It was 36 Celsius in Sardinia and now I’m back in miserable London, where it’s 16 Celsius if I’m lucky. I’ve not been this cold in ages!
thanks for the comment. In reference to it I don’t find it terribly difficult because I am not that way anymore. I, however, don’t want to forget those times.
Heheh to be honest, I’ve gone off Flickr because of the censorship issues. I used Picasa for my Sardinia pics, and there are more on Photobox but I’m not sure how to share ‘em!
Tracy, thank you – your comment really helped
