October 14 diary post

4x4"  mini canvas

Did/Been

 Business activities all morning like computer backup (still manual) and getting ready to sell on ebay. Got on the wrong bus, so didn't end up at the park for another TLC afternoon, but did do errands that will make our nest more comfortable. Got back around 2:30 and indulged with my audio book, and art making. Watched Soul Art TV while making supper.

Back in the studio: Working on ACEO's and 4x4 canvases but in a new series. They don't look at all like the piece above except for size.
Savored: being in bed on a rainy day while listening to my audio book, The Help. 


How I felt: I am so EXCITED and charged about this new series. It's fun. While I've still got something to say with my landscape series, this change is energizing.

Soulful Stuff: I really connected with Lisa Sonora Beam's video for Soul Art TV. 
Serendipidy: Quite a bit today, but keeping a secret just now. I will mention one happy discovery: Two people who don't know each other both recommended the band "Yes" to me today and some exploration looks like it might be significant for my painting.

3 things I'm grateful for: 
1. Jace is picking up some sweet potatoes for this craving I have. We also had a lazy day gab fest this afternoon and neither of us was worried about being "productive". He's awesome.
2. changing into comfy pj's and sweat shirt hours before bedtime
3. mom sent pictures of her travels on her sailboat. They've made it from Maine to New York.

Thanks Leslie. Carole, yes, Soul Art TV with Laura Hollick. It's especially good this year. I find she's gotten better at interviewing and the guests are great.
Jace- I'll get to a woodsy park yet.
