Fa La La La La La La

I’m waking up late this Saturday morning. And yet again, I didn’t post yesterday. My brain cells are running on empty. There’s less than 7 ten days to go before XMAS. Fa La La La La La! I wonder who came up with the idea of this being the season to be jolly? In the last couple of days, I’ve felt a bit delirious; I sort of like it because I start acting sillier than usual.

I haven’t painted nor have I taken a photograph in a few weeks, but today I’m going to give it a shot and take out my brushes. I’m curious. I have a commissioned piece to work on before the end of the year.

This time of the year is always a challenge, not so much because of the holiday shopping nor because of the family, but because I’m not able to live with a little routine in life. I get consumed with work. Luckily, I finally get to go for a walk this morning and then make breakfast. I get a little peace on earth today, ahhhh!

The piece here is titled, “Brenda.” A few months ago, Brad, my boss and friend, commissioned me to paint it for his sister. It’s the last time I painted. I struggled with it a bit, but in the end I was happy with it, and his sister loved it!

In searching for a quote on ‘daily routine,’ they all seemed so negative. I believe that a little daily routine is healthy for our souls; it’s like the jingles in songs that keep us humming along and complete the lyrics. Fa La La La La La!

Have a great weekend and a little good luck with all the Holiday shopping.
