Inspiration

i have started

Alisa Burke's Sketchbook Delight Online class!

it is inspiring me to get in my studio and climb

back into the creative wagon :)

getting familiar with my tools for now

Nest

i am trying to find my bearings

back home...

feeling a little ungrounded,

needing to nest, organize and

clean.

i could easily hide away in one of these

for a few days until i find my feet again...

(photos from the net - i apologize but i can't remember where from)

Season's change

we've moved back to the thick of summer...

adjusting slowly!

i'm so glad these hyacinths gave us

a little taste of spring before we left...

the illusion of a transition

when in fact we went from one extreme

to the other!

Treats

With the "boulangerie" across the road

we've been so spoilt with fresh, warm

bread every morning...

and the best home made raspberry jam on top...

(merci maman!)

What a treat!

Alps' inspiration

Exploring

Life in the Alps has been busy, busy...

We have been skiing, visiting and exploring.

Reading

i always feel a pang of nostalgia when leaving the african continent...

luckily just before i left i had a good dose of african stories while devouring the third book of the "Langani Trilogy"

by Barbara & Stephanie Keating

an incredible tale of Africa's rawness, dilemmas and beauty.

"Savage stars pit the night

And I walk in borrowed light

To seek, to feel, to fly..."
