Change, 8"x10" mixed media on canvas
Hello Beautiful Art Friends,
How is your summer going? My daughter got her dream job towards the end of July in Tallahassee Florida! We embarked on a road trip from CA to FL. We packed her car as much as we could with her things, and we hit the road. Oliver, her dog came along, of course.
The road trip went by faster than we thought. We took a slight detour to spend sometime in New Orleans, LA. First time for both of us. Loved the French Quarter.
Once in Tallahassee, it was work, work, work! We had to find an apartment by the first of August, then once we did, we needed to buy the basics as this is my daughter's first apartment, and first time living on her own!
I fell in love with Tallahassee and kind of wished I was moving there too, though it's pretty hot and not good for my body long term. It's a city that has so much to offer and so diverse.
After weeks there I needed to return home. It has taken me a while to get back to speed but getting there. I have done a few mixed media abstracts. I wanted to experiment with different materials and to create something totally different. Above is one I created.
The road trip and helping my daughter has taken a toll on my health. My autoimmune disorder is not forgiving when I have stress or demand more of my body than I should. It keeps me from being able to do a regular 9-5 job as sometimes it just knocks me down for a while. Good think I can still paint, and I don't know what I would do if I couldn't, but eventually I am aware due to the nature of LEMS I may not be able to.
Anyway, hope your summer has been fun and adventurous.
Love,
Glad
