Week 10, can’t believe we are into May! Half of this week was done here in Colorado and the other half in Florida with my plein air setup. I loved painting every morning on the porch in Leisureville. Yes, that’s the actual name of the 55+ community we stayed in. Check out the photo below.

Back to Week 10. Thistle is my favorite. I really like the composition and macro-like camera angle I chose to represent it. i want to paint more flowers and weeds like this. Maybe a large series of desert/mountain botanicals is next on my plate.
If I had to pick one thing that drains my creative energy I might say it’s my day job. But, I might also say it’s neglecting my health (going without food for long periods of time, etc) that clouds my energy.
So, I’m doing new things to make sure I have the energy to do all the things I want outside of my 9-5 job in retail. Qi Gong and lots of protein are what I added to my self-care regime this week. Getting morning sunlight on my eyes, while walking the dogs grounded, has also been a nourishing game changer.
