What a week so far, been busy clearing stuff out and making a few runs to the local recycling center...cannot believe how much stuff we have acquired in the past few years ! We have been quite harsh on what to keep and what not, as some of the stuff has been in the shed and not seen the light of day for a while and some of it was just bunged in there for storage, and at one point it was almost impossible to access them without wading through loads of stuff ! As I have gotten older I do find myself needing less in the way of material things, as long as I have my art stuff and books then I am a happy little soul !
Packing is underway,which is the worst part I think, but on reflection because we have downsized so much that this will be the easiet move we have ever done and the last ! I expect everything to go to plan and should be in our new home by the end of April, but will be offline for a few days whilst we sort out the broadband etc. I am not very good with disruption and cannot wait to get my "artspace" sorted so I can knuckle down to some serious work, as most of my gear is packed now apart from some pencils which I am using on a current piece that really needs to be done before we go. However I did manage to snap a photo of few stones just recently finished which you can see above...just love working with that glitter paint!
As moving time draws and things speed up, with limited time available posts will be when and if I can, so I hope to catch up with you all properly then and thanks for staying with me.
Good for you, getting rid of "things" that you don't need. It feels good, doesn't it? Your rocks are so wonderful. Good luck with the move!
ReplyDeleteLa tua fantasia e la sua abilità nel dipingere danno magnifici risultati.
ReplyDeleteBuon trasloco.

Hi there Vic..
ReplyDeleteThree things.
Stones. They are fab. Gorgeous, and I think we should do a painted stone swap one day.
Material things. Yes me too. This birthday was tricky as my hubby kept asking me what I wanted, and the truth is, the older i get, like you thes less I need. So, he usually gets me art related things. Can't go wrong with that.
Lastly, accidentally deleted your comment on my birthday post cos it was in my spam folder (cos it's a googlemail email and my spam filter is really strict). Could you be a peach and repost your comment...pleeeeease?

ooh shiny!! :D love the fish!
ReplyDeletei hate my work space getting messed with, always feels so odd trying to draw somewhere else.
I haven't been online for a few weeks Vic (doctor's orders and holiday) so just seen that you're moving away from Whitstable (!!!)
ReplyDeleteWas it something we said?
Seriously, I hope the move goes smoothly and you'll be very happy in your new home. Where are you moving to?
May still see you on Tankerton Slopes at dog shows in the Summer?
