I've been away from blogging for a little while now. BUSY with life. I get bummed when I don't keep up with these things but, I know it's important for me to put some things away and fill my creative tank.

( my new favorite)

 One of the things I've had the privilege in experiencing.. Is the BLOOM TRUE course by Flora Bowley!! It was five weeks of painting and fun. I loved it so much! I've never met her personally But by the end of the course I felt as though I new her in some small way. 

She taught me how to paint without judgment.. Give myself some freedom and to go with the flow. Her course reminded me that when "life happens" and I'm not in my studio (as much as I think I should be)..when I'm looking around comparing myself to everyone else who seems to have it together (artistically speaking)...that I need to look at my time away as a time to fill my creative well. 

So THAT my friends.. is what I've been doing. A lot has been going on. Some painting.. (more to come).  Many travels and many sweet moments with some of the people I love.
