I have been enjoying painting with water colours lately. I don’t know if it is because it is summer and water colours just seem to go with ocean or fish scenes or it is the fact that I am just following my heart. Painting ocean and fish scenes just feels right. When I first started […]
The summer is a great time to spark creativity with kids. I usually stock up on art supplies from the art store or the dollar store for when the kids have friends over and I always bring a small amount of art supplies whenever we are away. It is nice to have some supplies for […]
I have always been interested in the moon cycles. I don’t talk about it very often because a lot of people don’t understand it or believe it. My cycles have always been regular at 28 days and have followed the 28 day cycles of the moon. One of my daughters is also really affected by […]
