..and the distance of the mountains beyond as if to say yesterday is past ..all the trials and tribulations..as if to say, see here--mida, there is...paz if only for a moment.

Im such in a melancholy state of mind this morning...had a bad day yesterday...not sure if I want to get up and face the day, pero my little dog is urging me to take him outside. Your post reminded me of the new water color set, new field sketch book I purchased 2 weeks ago..still sitting on my kitchen table.

Change in scenery, I had been working with pastels and acrylic..or just sketching was on a seascape mode..I call it oceans in the desert eg ocean waves, palm trees, sail boats in the distance...then, all of a sudden-- nada, the flow of creativity just stop as if someone plugged, shut off the spigot. Before that birds big and small, garden flowers.

So, I'm thinking perhaps a change of scenery will quench this thirst I'm experiencing..can load up my small truck with art things, Chico ( small dog who really hates going anywhere since he thinks I'm taking him to vet or groomer but can't leave him home ] If I drive say 90 min north will be in mtns ..lake, streams Aspen..drive through pueblo, historic Spanish mission, cliff dwellings, hot springs lots of things to see draw, do...maybe hike up to waterfall..now that fire restrictions have been lifted in NM can finally get out and enjoy nature.

Thank you for sketches you so generously shared--can picture myself there..love how the sunlight hits the trees--how the water is quiet, just a day at the lake..seashore-- nice, serene.

Buen dia y paz.
