Paint me a Picture

I wish I could say things have been easier since my last post.  I am finding myself in a bind.  I feel like I am screaming at the top of my lungs and nobody is listening.  Although with all the negative tension, I have found things that have temporarily lifted my spirits.  My health, painting and drawing.  I cannot remember the last time I actually picked up a pencil/ pen and just started drawing.  Drawing without constraints or a care.  I have forgotten how therapeutic art can be.  I typically stress about every little detail to master perfection which never happens.   

The picture above, is a water color that I did for my firm's art auction.  I used a photograph that I took while I was abroad in Spain 8 years back.  I think I found my happy place for now.  

The little things

Last week was pretty rough for me.  I lost my side mirror, my dad was sent to the hospital briefly, and there was leak on the side of my house.  Needless to say I needed a breather from all the chaos.  
We walked around White Rock Lake, with Pokemon GO in hand.  Sometimes all you need is to distract yourself in order to recharge.
Hopefully this week is a little less exciting.

Summer is Here

A few things:

• It's Monday.
• My posting frequency is terrible.
• I have been busy like most people.
• It is officially summer.

To be honest, summer is NOT my favorite time of the year, well at least in Texas.  The humidity is on a frenzy. Temperatures are just under triple digits- for now.  Grass is browning.  And I cannot manage to make it home from the store without ice cream melting to basically a liquid state.  I can sit an complain about the Texas heat or just face the fact that the next few months (minus a couple of weekends of travel) are going to be spent sitting indoors, sipping iced tea, and freaking out over the Game of Thrones finale, and updating my blog.  

Hopefully by the end of this week, I will post picture from Memorial day weekend.  It's okay that I am almost a month behind, right?

Til then, Cheers.
