Just when I thought I was old enough to watch all my dreams go up in smoke, the grandkids come over and revitalize hope. Lea showed them her felt pen drawings and evoked landscapes. I showed them some techniques and a photo of Vincent Van Gough's Starry Starry Night and away they went. Thank you dream gods you are still there.
Finished and had pink soup (borsht) and pirogies

Somewhere in all of us there is a burning ember that glows like a wood stove in a dimly lit cabin. Everyone is different in this need to have an inner glow and the fuel that feeds it. I have always tried to be creative in the art I produce in an attempt to keep that inner glow alive. As I have aged the embers seem to have more ash dimming that light. Taking a break from the pressures of everyday life can rekindle that desire. As a friend of mine said, "The Japanese immerse themselves in nature to revive the soul." so off I went to do exactly that. Of course it works even better when shared with friends.
