INFLUENCES ALL AROUND ;)

 EXPLORING in my journals...

 

 

 

 

 GOOD MORNING ;)

this is the only thing that takes me away from

painting...

 

 

 

 

 making books at 2 a.m. in the morning...

 

 

 

 

NOW THERE'S

A

GOOD

IDEA!

 



Nature, whimsy, and INDUSTRIOUS FUN! annnnd CANDY CANE!

 Flying into Panama City

 

 

 

 

 yep...a phone booth...imagine that!

 

 

 

 

 a view to Estero Beach

where there aren't ever lots of people

to body surf and play in the soup,

beachcomb...

a

RIVER

an

OCEAN...

 

DIVINE!

 

 

 

 my sister Candy

in one of

our very

FAVORITE

spots...

overlooking the ocean,

pounding over rocks!

 

 

 

 

 incredible LEAF!

 

 

 

 

 OUR MAKE SHIFT TABLE...

 

 

 

 

 I FORGOT our paint brushes...

so....

sticks, twigs and leaves sufficed ;)

 

 

 

 

 Richard packed us a portable drill

to make holes!

I woke up and walked outside one morning to find this girl

GOIN' to it...starting her beach hangings,

i was CRACKING UP!

 

 

 

 

 a very small PORTION...

 

 

 

 

 of our FUN FINDS!

 

 

 

 

and this is only

a small

portion

of what Candy

created.

we could not stop

this girl if we had

TRIED!

 

 



HOME HOME HOME BEAUTIFUL HOME

 Finally painted today,

finishing a journal page I started,

 

 

 

 

 

 before leaving for Panama ;)

 

 

 

 

 swayed by the colors there

 

 

 

 

 

 this is the start of the page right next to the other

 

 

 

 

 

 faces on my mind,

 

ALSO

i left the words exposed,

"half baked idea"

yeah...just can't live without humor

;)))

 

 

 but they are not Panamanian ;)

 

 

 

 

Photo Shop bus we road for 4 hours and still,

not arriving to our final destination...

 

we are tuckered out to say the least,

and

have

NEVER

been

so HAPPY

to

be

HOME

 

THANK YOU Anita, Yael, Sue M, and Fuzzie Fingers
