Here it is, the end of June! As I said before, I'd probably not paint til June....I finished the house, the exterior of the studio (but not the interior of the studio), and it has passed FHA inspection. There will always be work to be done on this 270 year old mud house, but for now, I'm resting. Now comes the age old question for me, when will I begin to pick up the brushes and finish the little painting I had started late February. I never finished it, I had to start on the house because FHA was coming to assess its' value. I dropped everything and took care of a ceiling that needed work before it was inspected. Then I headed to Dallas for a one night charity exhibition of Ceilidh! with the American Ireland Fund - Texas. It finished March 7, and I headed home because of the problems starting with Covid 19. The rest you know from my last post. I just thought you'd all like to see the exterior results of my labours these past 4 months. The white building is the studio building that you saw before.
Without the house to throw myself at, I'm discovering that I was definitely hiding my anxiety, grief and stress. An artist can't hide from feelings for long, or she becomes tied in knots. So here I am, going through what I forgot to see last month, and the month before that. But I'm tired of not being able to paint - always a good sign. I'll get going soon. I feel it in my bones.
