Contemplation

Can't believe we are nearly a quarter of the way through the year.  Clocks go forward tonight and we loose an hour, I'm really looking forward to the lighter evenings.  So much has been going on its going to take a few posts to get up to speed.  I have been focussing on producing some paintings for an exhibition I am planning further down in the year.  I also have a lot of work that needs to be uploaded on to my website.  When you are self employed you have to be proficient in a number of areas.  I wanted to share with you a mini break I had in spain (marbella) in February. It was a lovely little break and allowed me much time to reflect and do some art work.  This was mainly because it rained all the time we were there and so for me it was ideal, I was forced to get my thoughts and images on paper.  There were a couple of hours on 2 of the days where we had some sunshine, I had really appreciated the time spent as we often can find a number of other things we must fill our time with and then moan about not having enough time.  I found it challenging at first as I am used to snatching the time.  I allowed myself to basque in the extra time and made sure that every day for the 4 days of the break I spent some time on me and working through some of the ideas that I had been working on - at the end of the day no one will give you the time, you have to take it for yourself.......
