Hi Nikki,
Experimented with one of my new brushes today to paint one of my favourite flowers--a peony. I now regret having bought student-grade watercolours--they are very basic--but it's forcing me to figure out how to blend and mix.
Looking forward to Zooming on the weekend. I am afraid I have been stalled out on writing of late. Maybe it's partly that the "resolution" part of the arc isn't as interesting to write (for me anyway) as the crisis and all the stuff leading up to it. Lots to talk about.
Sleep well.
XO S
Nikki - still MIA - driving back from the sleepless night under the train bridge, straight to an event in Banff (to celebrate with Barry Blanchard and Chic Scott, recipients of the Order of Canada) and then on to Canmore and a fabulous inaugural poetry slam… then, collapsed into bed, half delirious with relief all that was over and I could sleep!!
