It’s a new year! Time to cast off the dreadful shackles of 2020 and try out new things. No one saw how big the events of last year were going to hit us. We’ve all had to make some pretty big changes and sacrifices. I know the turning of a calendar page won’t change the world, but it does bring hope, and sometimes that’s all you need to get through to the next calendar page.
I haven’t been able to work this school year, as we’re home keeping my son safe. This holiday was set up to become smaller and quieter. I was thinking of just postponing it completely as my little one is still young enough to not know when Christmas was. My cousin Sally nominated our family to the wonderful people at Vibrant Yogi, who teamed up with Living Water’s Church in Langley to gift us this generous pile of treasures. Kelsey made our Christmas, and I’m ever thankful for all the work and kindness people showed our family.
My little guy was gifted many transforming robots and superheroes! I was blessed with new art supplies and I just had to start trying all the new things. Obviously, someone must have been an artist looking for supplies because include were things I always wanted, but never got for myself! Brushes, tons of paper, tape, and new metallic paint!
I delved into the land of ink! I became incredibly fixated with these 2 lions. The 1st in forest green, the 2nd in navy blue.
For 4 days straight, all I wanted to do was work on these pieces. It was very freeing to try something new and outside of my regular style of expression through watercolour. I’ve highly enjoyed it, and I see why Aaron Schallie enjoys the details that you can create. It was easy to get into a quiet zone during these dark chilly days and let the hours slip by into the ink and paper. I fairly excited to try many more new things and try out all the supplies! It almost feels like starting all over again.
