You are loved!
I finished this yesterday. Now working on the next Color Me book project.
Dragonflies and the New Year
It’s the first day of a new calendar.
Happy 1st of January 2015 to you all and may this day and all that follow be filled with all the love, joy, creativity and good things that each of you deserves so much.
This isn’t quite my first piece of art for this new year; I spent time today completing two pieces of Scandinavian art for Michael O’Mara Books. I got the 1960s work for them done on Tuesday. Yesterday was a day where I did some mandalas for the third ‘Color Me’ book to follow on from the huge success of Color Me Calm and Colour Me Happy.
I’m certainly being kept busy with art!
The winter break is nearly over, and all too soon. It took me over week to calm down enough that the palpitations from work related stress calmed down and for me to sleep properly once again.
No doubt the manic-ness that is teaching will have me stressed out again, especially as it’ll be crazy with an Estyn inspection in three weeks time.
Taking time to meditate, to create, to write will be so important for me, as it always is, but more so with this added pressure and the fact that I didn’t realise how stressed out I was with work, and how exhausted I was too.
I hope I can stave the exhaustion off for a longer time this coming school term …

Winter Solstice #2
Another quiet day today, with lots of Lemsip, tissues and art. Had to go out shopping this evening, but the supermarket was thankfully quiet.
Winter Solstice 2014
Happy Solstice to you all!
A time to let go of what limits you in your life’s progress, of what is now done with of what you no longer need, all in order to make space for the new.
I finally had time today to spend on art for pure pleasure for myself. Much of my art of late has been for publishers as wll s in my art journal. Doing this work is really enjoyable, but it has to fit a brief, whereas the work above just flowed from my pen without any thought or form to begin with.
My gift to you…
You, dear reader, can print the black and white artwork below and colour it in, so long as it is for totally personal use – no permission is given for you to use it for any commercial or advertising purposes either in this form or any altered form. The only other proviso is that you enjoy the coloring in!
The original is approx. 8″ square and was drawn on quadrille grid paper with UniPin drawing pens.
