The Winter Blues...

Untitled-Painted by me
         How are you all doing?  The weather out here is enough to make me go cookoo... We had 20 cm of snow fall last night and we're expecting another 15-20 cm of snow and I'm already at my limit...  I admit it, I'm struggling with the winter blues...How I long for green trees and blue skies...  The only good part about such terrible weather is that you don't feel like you are missing ANYTHING when you are working during the day (and night).

I wanted to share my latest painting that is almost complete.  She is part of the body of work I am calling Unearthing: a 21st Century Inner Exploration.  The same collection of paintings that is helping me uncover and express my connection to my Metis roots.  Do you like her?

I've been writing... and I think I might have written my best story so far.  It feels AMAZING to have this one in my pocket.  I have so much to tell you about my writing but I will save it for another post.  I just wanted to let you know that I'm finally doing it.  Again. Still. But better.

Also, I wanted to share this kind hearted loving post here.  I was so touched by this.  Thank-you Stefanie Lyn.  And finally... there are two NEW art quilts in the shop and an original painting that was featured in SEW Somerset and Somerset Studio Gallery! Come and check them out!





Thank-you kind people for sharing the happy days and the snowy grey days with me. 
Having this place to consistently share my art, my heart and my words
is saving me form the depths of my winter despair.  I am so grateful.

  3. Wow! I love your new painting and can't wait to see more from this series and I can't say enough about those lovely quilts that you create. I am so sorry you have the winter blues. It is sometimes tough living in the north under such conditions. I am afraid to tell you today we just had our first real snowfall of the season and it's still coming.... i am loving it. (I am still a northern girl at heart)
    You must treat yourself to a boquet of flowers to help bring some green into your grey days. You deserve it and it will make you feel so much better. Happy creating!
