Today is Friday and it is the best day of the week. I can get through the work day knowing that tomorrow and the next day I do not report to anyone. I guess that is what self employed people like.
Last night I met with a sub group of the Swell Sister Society known as the Quirky Art Group or QAG. One of my sisters in the group said, “all I do is paint”. I looked at her with envy. Then I said, “Wow I wish I had the time; but work gets in the way.” And she said “Quit.” Interesting thought for about one second. No quitting isn’t in my immediate future. Although it was a very nice thought!
I will be 62 in about 3 months and technically I could retire. I guess I could check to see how poor I would be if I did retire. It truly is something to think about and if not this year then when? So thank you Janet for planting the seed. Now I will have to tend that seed to see if it will grow.
The group last night met to work on an art project that we probably would not normally try. In this project you put paper or fabric under glass in a picture frame (any size) which becomes your background. Once you have the background you paint on the glass with black or white acrylic paint. Very cool effect and depending on the depth of the frame it could look 3D.
All of the projects turned out great and very diverse. The best part of the evening was just gabbing with the other sisters about art and anything else on our minds. What a great treat to be in the company of other women of like mind in some aspects and totally different in others. We encourage each other to try new things such as this blog of mine. A week ago I knew noting about blogging. Of course I have much to learn. And yes I am working on displaying pictures of my art.
I am off to Oakland tomorrow for a BBQ with friends. No posts until Sunday. I know you will miss me; but I will be back.

I am dreaming of painting everyday. What are you dreaming?

Hahaha Carol I love your blog! & happy that I have met you! Also glad to hear you are going to post more of your art which I think is great & thought provoking. Loved your piece the other night! I'm also glad I could plant that little seed...maybe watch it grow?! Also really happy I am taking this time to do something that I love, it's the first time I have done something like this for myself in 30 yrs. Don't know how long I can keep it up, it's a little scary but I'm trusting the Lord right now and winging it! I feel the same way about this group of ours! Feel really blessed to have found it and be included! Have a great weekend & BBQ!
