Paint on my hands



It's been a while since I have posted and painted.  Both of which I have missed.  Let's just say that right now I have too many stressful things going on in my life and I am hoping that very soon they will come to an end.  It's affected my blogging but more importantly my painting time.

Little Ollie was 4 yesterday and I promised to create an Octonauts banner for his party this weekend.  As usual I have left things to the last minute so I am now frantically painting like mad in every spare moment.  The best thing is that I have had paint on my hands and felt it on my fingers which I find so comforting.  It's been just what my soul has needed.  Plus I have been listening to Absolute 80's as I paint and singing rather badly.  Why is it that belting out a great song that brings back great memories makes you feel so much better.  I apologise now to my lovely Jim.  He had to wear his headphones last night to block out the wailing noise coming from my studio.


I hope you are all having a good week and not letting the rain dampen your spirits.  Although right now as I type this, the sun is shining!

Take care ~ Helen

Hi Helen, lovely to hear from you in the Bloggesphere again. :)I too have had an enormous amount of stress in my life in the past week or so, things have settled a bit now but I do still feel quieter than usual. The moments when I find to create help me so much. I think you're doing a great job with the banner, what a fanastic gift for him, he's going to be thrilled!
I hope you're over the worst storms and that happy times will be arriving really soon.:)

Hi Jess, thanks very much for your lovely comments and glad to hear that things have settled down a bit for you. It can take away my creativity, so I am pleased it is back for us both.

Thanks again, your comment means a lot!
