#HourADay
Kathleen Ralph🌺🌸🌻I am happy with the time I spent figuring out this cut paper technique last night. #5DailyGratitudes: being excited about what I’m making, reconnecting with a friend, having a good man in my life, the growing things in my house, one month until comic expo.
This weekend’s #HourADay s are spent working digitally on items for the local comic expo coming up in April. This one is a detail shot of a tree for a post of four hobbits in a “Studio Ghibli” style. Or as the Smöl Nerdchild calls “Studio Gimli” style. 😂
#5DailyGratitudes: my family supporting my creative time, getting my rebate cheque from the local coop (just in time), a warm house on a snowy day, sleeping in, having breakfast made for me.
Today’s #HourADay is Mediation #8: Moving Apart. Still running that split primary palette, and thinking about how space can feel in relationships. #watercolour #MastoArt
#5DailyGratitudes: chinooks, my sweet cat, the gradual return of routine, the upcoming long weekend, space to take a pause.
Continuing with the split primary palette today’s #HourADay is Meditation # 7: Dreamscape. The colours are the same as the previous painting, but softened with more water and less pigment. A pastel exploration of dreams and dreamers.
#5DailyGratitudes: the healing power of sleep, self-care in the form of paying bills and taking my vitamins, nourishing soup for supper, a special coffee with my fella, being in my own home.
Today’s #HourADay is a split primary painting - a warm red, blue and yellow and a cool red, blue and yellow with an addition of a metallic silver paint. I love how many varieties and intensities of colours I can make with just these paints.
#5DailyGratitudes: a clean pallet, a hot cup of coffee, a chance to get outside, my cozy house, machines that wash my stuff.
Todays #HourADay. Meditation #6: Darkness (There is a crack in everything).
I am learning that even in the dark there is almost always a way to find the light.
#5DailyGratitudes : My brother and sister-in-law who are also my friends, my guy who helps me find good things every day, my sweet kitty who still loves bird watching, my “step-brother” who is kind beyond measure, my kids who keep me laughing with inappropriate jokes.
Today’s #HourADay is a meditation life journeys. All of us travel through time living our lives. There are times of growth and times when we stay still. Here is to the pain and joy of growth without which we would never find out who our true selves are.
#5DailyGratitudes: the kindness of my coworkers, migraine medication, learning new things, my morning coffee date, inner strength.
Today’s #HourADay painting is a meditation on connection. We have so many connections in our lives, lovers, friends, family. The forms of those are all different but vital to our existence as humans.
#5DailyGratitudes: Family dinners, quiet time, my adult children who make me a proud mom, a plan for the week, finding contentment in routine. #MastoArt #watercolor
Today’s #HourADay painting is a meditation on dayspring, thinking about how we change our view of the world as is the sun rises. The same way that we feel different about ourselves when we are basking in the light.
#5DailyGratitudes: a gratifying job, deep sleep, my cozy home, quiet time for thinking, the weekend.
