January has been such an emotional roller coaster.
The Lows- There seem to be a spell of heartbreaking events happening to people I care a great deal about at the moment and it really makes me wonder how life can truly deal you a hand not worth playing. I have offered support in any way I could to ease situations and put to task the true meaning of friendship.
The Highs- having sold 4 paintings in 2 weeks, had me beyond elation. Especially since I know the buyers and was rest assured it will be enjoyed and appreciated. Also, in the midst of it all working on a commission piece for a new home...such joy. Working on this landscape piece in particular has really enabled me to better cope with the level of stress I was under re-above. Art is so powerful and such a wonderful stress reliever. I would encourage anyone to dabble, doodle, draw , pick up your old sketch pad, any random piece of paper and just mindlessly scribble .....it is the cheapest form of stress relief.
I wanted to share a few pics that I also found to help ease me through times when I needed to be uplifted.

Most seascapes and landscapes has always felt like home to me, no matter where I am I can look at a photo of the ocean/lake/forest and I'll feel at home. The calmness of nature keeps me grounded when the world around me seems so chaotic . I hope these pics do the same for you if ever you feel overwhelmed!

Congrats on the sales and the commissioned piece Chelsea; love the great news.
Hard to balance life sometimes. When you're up, sometimes loved ones are down. But being there, listening, supporting is always important. It is important to be there for the ones you love. But it is also important to celebrate your own successes. Congrats to you.
