Today the rain is pouring down and I hear floods are happening to the south. Where I grew up on a beautiful river valley we would remember the years often by the floods!
Then I never lived near flooding rivers... for decades it seemed. Having returned to the part of the country that is not so very far from those childhood years... floods are once again more likely. I'm sitting contemplating what time to head to the Gallery today to slowly dismount the show and outside there is wind and rain in constant gusts! Rain is heavy out there!
Last night I found, after weeks of being so focused on the latest exhibition, I was starting to remember what's next. Moving house is looming large again. Suddenly caught in a bit of excitement I began to imagine my new home... straying far from the likely scenario. In part its simply because the range of domestic buildings in this city where I live are not so like my dream domestic environment ... and partly because when one dreams one does not need to fund one's desires.
So what does a girl do ... she starts a new tumblr blog... calls it when.we.are.home because everything else is taken and then spends a while clicking here and there to find some pics of appealing domesticity!
While picking templates she thinks...oh... I'll just give the neglected studio tumblr blog a facelift with a new template... so da..de..dah ...its looking far more spiffy indeed.
SO... now back to the real world I have to think about getting moving for the day... onwards... much to do!

No plans to live in a tent... too wet around here... but this looks appealing... from  tenuedenimes |

your *voice* sounds calm and ready (if one can be ready) for the next step. by the way, i could love that tent...for maybe a little bit of the year!
ReplyDeleteYes... feeling calm and ready somehow Velma. Was surprised how much excitement I felt last night thinking about "Home' .
DeleteThink there is a sense of completeness about the art work at the moment... not as in its over... but that something started visually in 2010 has reached fuller expression now and I can actually pack away things to move .... plus get started on words and ideas to make the book happen.
After a couple of months house hunting it was great to stop and refocus on the painting and ideas and make such a big effort to establish the year... less concerned about pulling back to sort the domestic changes.
Met great people and had a truly rich experience with this show and the people who were involved in the dialogue events or visiting the exhibition and discussing things around that!
The tent... yes... wonderful!
Hello Sophie,
ReplyDeleteFINALLY, I have a bit of time to stop in and see what you are up to.
1. You always pick the best photos. I especially loved the one of the gallery. Great "living with art shot"!
2. How do you manage to get it all done without loosing your cool? You astound me!
3. Good luck move. I've sending lots of good thoughts your way.
Now to see the "spiffy facelift"!

Spiffy indeed, Sophie! I too wonder.... how you manage to do it all and remain so calm?

You two lovely peeps... Mary and your good self Carole... got me thinking this morning. See that in the response to Mary. Anything that brings clearer thinking and calm has been so crucial to get around challenges, big and small. Working on it!
