Welcome my friends! I have missed you all so much. I have had a challenging week, a week full of migraines and coughing. I have made a doctors appointment for Monday morning to figure out why I've been so sick, so frequently these past few months.
When I am not feeling well and can't get into my art room, I take my art to the couch or my bed. This week I took my little tote of supplies and my Moleskine and spent some time colouring.
I enjoyed the relaxing feeling of colouring with coloured pencils (pencil crayons as I call them). I had previously painted these random faces with watered down craft paint, so adding colour with the pencils was easy. These faces were inspired by the wonderful Dede
I also had a great time playing with the Sennelier Oil pastels that I got on clearance at Michael's in the pages below. It was great just to learn how they blend and layer. I didn't worry about the outcome of these five faces, it was about the calming process of creating them.
I also enjoyed finishing a few pages that were partially complete with some doodling and bits of ephemera.
It has been a challenging week, I am truly exhausted. Through this exhaustion I found comfort in doing some art, playing with supplies I don't use all the time.
Thank you so much for all the love and support, I am truly thankful to have you all in my life.
Much Love! xo
Ps, back tomorrow with a little link party! ;)
Hi Paula-I hope you will start feeling better soon.

Hey Paula, I am so sorry that you've not been well but glad you've found comfort in journalling on the couch. Really hope you will soon feel better and trust the doctor will have wisdom tomorrow at your appointment.

Happy I found your blog, sorry your so sick. I used to have headaches like that too. Went to a chiropractor... I really enjoy your art here, . I'm from Ontario as well. Nice to "meet" you!
ReplyDeleteHOpe you feel better soon. I am impressed that you have the art supplies together enough so you can do on sofa or the bed. Good girl. Now you should tell us how to organize and be together art wise like you. No just joking but I am in aawe of that. Hugs
ReplyDeletehope you feel better soon, love the faces, keep your spirts up
ReplyDeleteLove all of these - especially the last one. Hopefully art will help you heal.

Be interested in what the Doc has to say. Just for info sake, I was very sick last week with migraines as well, in fact I had at least 4 and it was because of the dramatic changes in the weather. I have several food triggers that I'm very careful about but that drop in the barometer is beyond my control. Lets hope we both have a better week :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Paula- Hope you are feeling better soon. I don't get migraines but everyone I know who has them, they really seem like a major drag!
ReplyDeleteAloha, Kate
I hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard when health, or lack of it, gets in the way of life. I hope you find your answers soon! Glad you worked through your pain with art!
ReplyDeleteIf they don't give you answers, keep on asking questions!
Take care!
Thank goodness for a tote (albeit NOT small, lol) andprepped pages! Hope you are feeling better soon and looking forward to your next stream!
