I sat down Thursday, thankful to have paper and paints in front of me. Ahhhh. In my mind, a recurring thought to do simple abstracts. Different, new. With collage maybe.
Funny the first piece is a view of the hills. Next one, yes simple, and a slightly different take. But still, something I have done before. Well, I wound up with 11 of these small starts.
Leslie’s January 30 day challenge has been cancelled. I am relieved, and a little sad too. I will miss the daily conversations with friends. I decided I will still try to complete 30 pieces this month. Small 4×4’s. To keep it simple (cue the laughter). But sometimes small is more difficult than doing a larger piece.
The Liberate Your Art postcard exchange has also been cancelled this year. I am planning on sending cards out anyhow. Any LYA’s willing to join me in a swap? If I have your address from last year, you are on my list 
That is a few months away. In the meantime, I have signed up for the next round of Love Notes. Thanks Christine for the reminder! In this exchange, you are paired with one person, and send them a postcard each week for three weeks. Looking forward to creating cards!
So that’s what I am up to this weekend. How ’bout you? Hope it’s a great one!!
Love your ‘Missing Pieces’ work Sheila. I had taken part in LYA the past few years and would be delighted to do a swap if you are interested?
Thank you Jacinta
I am sure I have your address, but just in case I will contact you, or you can email it to me. I’d love to have one of yours 
Yay 
I will keep you posted as it gets closer.
Ha ha! It is funny how our minds often follow the same path even when we plan to do something different. For a number of years, I painted the same basic scene- a lake with mountains in the back and an island – I really had to struggle to stop doing it. I was a bit disappointed about the 30/30 challenge too but as life has been pretty strange for me lately it is just as well. I don’t think I will have time to get some postcards made but if you want to send me one I would love it. Have a great weekend and enjoy your Love Notes.
Ha ha ha, nice to know I am not alone in the twilight zone! ha ha
I think the 30 cancelation worked out well for a lot of artists. The all knowing universe came together 
You are on my list Val! I will post more as it gets closer
Well I guess you subconscious likes the things you have been doing. But stay open and new things will come with the flow. I wonder now how long Leslie will stay with the AHA show or if she will stop and dive even more deeply into her new ventures. I think she is the next coming of Martha Stewart!! Anyway, we are in for another rain/gray weekend. But luckily I think we are going to be in the rain part, but just a few miles above us already they are getting sleet, so it might be close. Today starts a new project for me and I hope it turns out the way I think it does in my head. Have a good one my friend!!
Ha ha ha, true Nelvia
I wonder that too. I can’t believe all that leslie has on her plate, and she keeps taking on more! You could be right. It’s time for a new Martha!
I envy your rain. Dry here and not expecting any soon. Fingers crossed it stays rain and not snow for you.
Good luck with your new work! I am sure it will turn out fabulous. And if not, I know you will find a way to make a great save!! Have fun my friend!
Nice work, Sheila!
Thank you Louise
I like the colourful mosaic feel of your abstract hills…beautiful combination of color!
Oh I like that Laurelle. Nice!! I will have to keep that in mind
Enjoy!
Sheila, I love everything about your 4×4 watercolor above.
EVERYTHING.

I am using a watercolor painting of yours as a (perfect!) bookmark in one of the books I’m currently reading, Home Town by Tracy Kidder
So nice to hear that Dotty. I took a look at the book cover, to see if I could guess which piece of art might match that. LOL
And awesome to hear you love the new one too. Thanks Dotty. Enjoy your reading time my friend 
Love the simplicity especially the second one down! The color palette is great! has a Rothko look!
Thanks again for the lovely card. I keep watching the birds bring in more and more flowers! Made a copy using a little software that records my screen. Brachot!
Oh, so glad you like it Carol
I do that too, take screen shots. My old computer does not have that, and I miss it when I am on that one. Great for saving recipes too, when the site makes it hard to print on one page. LOL. Glad you like the art 
Brachot!
