Blue

Hey beautiful souls. Welcome in January. My winter holidays are nearing their end after 3 weeks. It has been good, restful, creative and beneficial time in many ways. Originally I planned to paint as much as I could but...I focused on different activities instead. I realized that I needed to rest, clean and make space for my new dreams in the first place. I needed to make space for new inspiration and creativity to come. I have not even been completely aware of many moments when that space has started to fulfill itself naturally again. The recent walks and wanders with Scott (please have a look at his beautiful photographs, here) have inspired me to take photographs again. I have started to work on a new painting and made a portrait-sketch for it.



I played with watercolours.







I was also getting ready to my debut exhibition.


and completely fell in love with January sky...







I am glad that I trusted and listened to my inner voice to give myself a break and simply enjoy it. I am happy that it is so much easier for me now to acknowledge my needs. I am more relaxed now, my soul is joyful and nourished and creativity naturally flows in my system again.

    Yes, that portrait sketch is really good! And I love the watercolor scene with the boats, too. For someone who says she didn't do much over your break, it looks like you've been very productive! Congratulations on your show. That's so exciting!
