I suspect to lovely places. I hope you are well.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067023107829045075.post-71289920849465193162021-04-14T07:25:21.662+01:002021-04-14T07:25:21.662+01:00Dear Marilee, thank you, I truly intent to listen ...Dear Marilee, thank you, I truly intent to listen to my inner voice now as I so don't want to loose my connection to my creativity again.

Oh yes, those metallic paints, but they are sumptuous, I had resisted them for ages, and was so excited to open them as a gift! <br /><br />How exciting that you have been able to trace your family tree and so far back. Genealogy is a passion of mine and I love it when the tiny clues add up to a find. Well, if you are ever here, I shall 'put the kettle on' and we can have a good old catch up over a cup of tea.<br /><br />I agree Spring is very welcome indeed, I love seeing each new sign of it as I go on my daily wanderings down the lane.Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072382312014762379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067023107829045075.post-3607586698609788242021-04-13T03:36:47.053+01:002021-04-13T03:36:47.053+01:00SO glad to see this inspiring message from you. I ...SO glad to see this inspiring message from you. I have delighted in your work for many years now, and look forward to more wonderful images. When I first started following your blog you were sharing the works of others and introduced me (and other followers) to many exceptionally talented people, but it was always your drawings that I loved the most. Listen to that inner voice that tells you what to do and what not to do. I think burn-out is the worst thing that can happen to a creative soul. Take care, Ruthie.

Oh, I'm so thrilled you have discovered this part of yourself again.<br /><br />Your metallics are fabulous. I need another bit of paint like a hole in the head but these are sorely tempting! And so, too, if your work. I am so very eager to see more.<br /><br />Spring has awakened here in Michgan, USA. I just posted some of the loveliness I saw yesterday and of course we are still early. The color and new life of spring can simply take my breath away and after so many months of being inside, it is more than welcome.<br /><br />A side note -- I noticed you are (I think) in Dumfrieshire. Recently we have been doing genealogical research into Rick's family, discovering the Scots part of his heritage (which he never knew about). Many are from that region of Scotland (with rather sketchy histories in the 1600s!). Who knows, perhaps one day I'll see your lovely area in person. Not soon, but you never know.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.com
