Visit from son.
Nice day but windy. Went for a walk with Doug, Christina and dogs, only I walk so slowly that I am fifty feet behind them.
The jazz jams are in Thomston at the cafe and i saw the hand prints in snow and got the idea to make this painting called Pictographs

It is spring? It was snowing today.
Because the last post was spring I forgot how to do it. Doug refreshed my memory. He and Christine came up for my birthday.
Doug came up this winter when we had a storm. When we checked the barn studio the rain was leaking in the windows that the winter before had blown out and not fixed properly. While the rain was blowing in sideways into the studio Doug took out one window at a time and stapled plastic around the frame and as quicky as possible pushed each one back into the wall frame and nailed them in. It worked and so far has kept the water out. It was a miracle he showed up that weekend and handled a crisis I could't deal with.
Other than that winter was normal. I walked the dog, and kept the wood stove and pellet stove going. Because of the cold I had to buy more wood and pellets.The three chickens laid eggs all winter, two eggs a day. I am still eating vegatables fron the summer garden, carrots, cabbage and squash. I try to paint every day but have not painted as many paintings as usual. I self published two books, one on my abstracts and one on interiors. I am working on realism now. These books are a record of my work.

March 10, blog thoughts
Yesterday I was sick and spent the day sleeping. I sleep all day and all night. I feel better today. I don’t know why I don’t do that more often when I have no energy and don’t function well, like I am wasting time or something, or if I am not actively doing something. When I rest my body can heal.
The winter has been so cold I had to buy more wood which was delivered over the last week. Today the person that I bought the wood from came and covered it so it would stay dry. It is these acts of consideration that touch me. I am truly thankful and blessed to know people that act from the heart.
I live alone and I like it. I can do what I want and when I want. When I am painting I don’t want to clean the house or pay the bills, I want to spent all my time painting. Of course I stop to cook my meals but it might be 9 in the morning and 9 at night or whenever I feel like it. Thankfully I have an active dog that needs exercise so I also get exercise on our daily walks. I also have three chickens that need food and water and I go out in the morning and take the two eggs they have laid. I do waste a lot of time, but it may not be waisting time. It depends on how one views it. As long as I am happy in all the moments, all time is precious ,valuable and appreciated.
I still have belief systems that I haven’t changed that keep me financially poor and I would like to change that. I have stacks of paintings in my house that should be in other peoples homes to enjoy. I joyfully express my self through painting, but only a few of the paintings reach someone else. This makes me sad, frustrated, and some times feelings of unworthy because I am not communicating my feelings about how I feel about my subject.
I express this now and I know that I bring the energy down, but it is better not to keep it bottled up, just to let you know I am not happy all the time just most of the time.
I had another gift today. An email from Kathleen Mack from her face book. I went there and looked at all the images of her art, and found them inspirational and funny. She is one of those gifted artists who’s talent is rare and should be recognized and appreciated, and she is equally a beautiful person.
