I noticed that a few days ago, the Two Writing Teachers asked about our One Little Word. In these busy, busy final weeks of school, the special slice of life that means I'm living my OLW-paint, is when I get out the paints and take a little while for something I love to do. It refreshes, takes away all the worries of THE LIST that grows longer every week. Here's a sample of one I've done of a favorite spring flower, those beautiful bleeding hearts. Hope your days are all going as well as they can, and your OLW is a treasure to you. For those of you who are finished with your school years, Happy Summer!
The colors are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, Linda! I noticed that my Bleeding Heart is especially beautiful this year. Wish I had your painting talent!
ReplyDeleteAhhh...OLW to take away the worries of the LIST...so blissful. Love the painting!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the breath of fresh air. Just the thought of pulling out watercolors is like opening a window.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are finding time for you. It is so easy to get caught up in the "Have-to-dos" that we don't take time to recharge ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI love bleeding hearts. I was so sad to leave my very large one when we moved two years ago. Then, just yesterday, I found that I have one growing right on the side of my new house! Your painting is perfect.
ReplyDeleteTaking a breather from the Have-To list is a must in these last busy days. Love the colors of the painting!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have a talent that can pull you out of your to do list and give the world some pleasure in your creation.
ReplyDeleteHa - THE LIST. I think painting is a very good option to refresh. Your OLW is living strong.
ReplyDeleteLove your painting, Linda. I hope this summer I can get out the paints and forget the list. I'm out of school, but my To Do list is long.
ReplyDeleteYour painting perfectly captures the beauty of bleeding hearts, Linda. Hope you have a chance to plenty of painting this summer!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I've been at work all day, and gone all evening. I appreciate the lovely support.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see you at the garden center on Monday. I bought two dahlias, which were gorgeous on Monday and are now wilting! Yikes! How did I kill them in one day??
ReplyDeleteI love that your OLW is something active and fun! Hopefully you will have more time for this in a couple of weeks, when the LIST is complete! You make me want to add "buy some watercolors" to my summer list!
