This is what I did today

My daughter and her boyfriend are currently travelling around Asia, and posting loads of amazing photos on Facebook. I am so jealous! They have been gone for 3 months now, and I'm not sure when they will be back. Today I had an unexpected day off, and thought I would treat myself to some 'me' time. Using one of their photos from Thailand as an inspiration, this is what I have done today. I don't often have time, energy and inspiration all at the same time, but I do love painting when I get the chance. I hope you enjoy this.

Well you kept that talent quiet... Lovely and how nice to get some unexpected me time when you can actually use it

Thanks VG.

As you know I have been very busy and stressed recently, and I find doing creative things helps me to unwind, and forget all the negative stuff for a while. It's still not as good as the photo, and that's not as good as actually being there! But it's my 'little holiday' and makes me feel closer to them!

Coo - that's good, Kaz! We shall be able to say we knew you before you were famous!

That's lovely kaz. I bet that took you on some other imaginary trip!! I love to doodle sketch. I start with a any shape and see where it takes me! My daughter loves to watch it unfold. I'm glad you had some real time to yourself to not have to stop midflow! S x

I doodle constantly - usually just random stuff, and then I add shading to see what happens! Normally all that happens is it's random shaded shapes!

Thank you all. I just thought I'd share a positive moment. We get few enough of them! I miss my daughter, in spite of Facebook, Skype, email etc. and this is one way I feel closer to her and her adventures.
