I"m in a place to paint!

Here's how my days start each day.....I get up and stretch, do a few yoga poses because my body isn't a spring chicken anymore and at the age of 45 sleep can unbelievable, make me sore! I don't get it.

I can remember as a child laying with my head completely sideways, hanging off my moms hip waking up just fine. Now, well not so much. Just from laying down on my side I find I have to flip flop at least a dozen times if not more each night.

So after my whining and stretching, if my hubby hasn't already beat me to it, I turn on the Pandora App on our Tv and play some light music and light the candles, and turn on the Christmas tree lights from Nov 1st till Dec 30th. ( I know I'm crazy to put the tree up Nov 1st, but I so enjoy it).

The teapot's turn,  heading into the kitchen I turn the stove on to heat up the kettle for some french press coffee, because we no longer like to drink from our Keurig after reading up on the bacteria and muck that grows in them! That's one more thing down for simple living!

Once we have our coffee we sit down together, relaxing and chit chatting, you know about "stuff" like most couples do I suppose. Some mornings we get into some pretty deep conversations and others day's it's the simple things. Most days will inspire my art or Larry's post for his blog called CageFreeOlogy.

I really enjoy starting off my day this way - we've done this for over 18 years now, highly recommend it! Setting aside time for each new day with a quite morning consisting of candles, soft lighting, music and sitting on our couch together.

Now I"m in a place to paint and I'm very content and serene....Let a new Art day begin!

Thinking about how grateful I am on this cool September  Sunday. Here's how my day started off this morning....A Pumpkin coffee along with a home-made maple frosted doughnut from our local Georgio's, soft jazz music playing, our fireplace going while all snuggled up next to my husband on the couch.

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday, our family is heading out to the Apple Farm today! 

Melted Chocolate and Neck Pain!

Melted chocolate on top of roasted marshmallows...who can resist that huh!
It is really making my mouth water while painting them lol, yep this girls a BIG BIG fan of Chocolate! Top it off with a hot cup of coffee and can you say HEAVEN!

So managed a little more progress on it but my neck has been killing me. Here is a long story made short: When my son was 3 years old I decided to teach him how to do a somersault  (NOT A BRILLIANT MOVE on my part)- it didn't go over well and on the second attempt, yup...shrieking pain in my neck arrived mid roll!

I was laid up for a few days and of course didn't go to the doctors! I'm not sure if other mothers tend to do the same thing but when it's anyone BUT me I say hey "You should really go to the doctors and have that checked out!" Why I don't listen to my own advice, I'll never know.

So here I am 10 years later it still acts up. My hubby is a great guy, but he laughs at me with all my pillows. Some folks buy shoes...I buy pillows! Hoping it'll get better in a few more days. Ibuprofen is my friend right now.

Commission Painting in progress - S MORES and Coffee

Waiting for my paint to dry before I head back in to paint! Gosh, I must get very stressed or tense when I paint...Looked in the mirror and noticed that my face was all RED!

Guess it's time for a break... lunch time anyways! Thought I would share my progress on a commissioned painting I'm working on.

A client recently purchased my whoopie pie painting and asked for me to paint smores and coffee cups for her dear friends using similar colors and style...fingers crossed - that she likes it so far!
