		<description><![CDATA[During nap time I made myself some purple pants. I dyed the fabric yesterday &#8211; from an original baby blue colour. I used cheap dye that was supposed to be brown. I am not too fussy about colors and so I realize its all an experiment. Luckily I love purple.
So this is really the easiest [...]]]></description>

I finally have another painting to post. In the past week I&#8217;ve started another painting frenzy.
This one is called &#8220;House in the Forest.&#8221; (yeah, I&#8217;m not so original with titles.) Watercolour on paper, 20cm x 30cm.
I started the whole tree thing while out on the coast. If you remember the paintings I did last winter, [...]]]></description>

these last days of summer are so bitter sweet. We have been getting used to the whole driving and picking up from school scene. Its been an adjustment, a welcome routine, but at times so restrictive. I find the days now fly by, whereas before I would be restless trying to find things to do. [...]]]></description>

we have a book about bees that I read to Marcel at night. It is really fascinating. They dance to tell were flowers are, they make honey, the drones have such a specific and almost comical role, each one has a special task. Marcel is interested in it all, but the Queen is is favorite. [...]]]></description>

I love this photo. I loved the washed out quality, the light, the prairie. I may not be a prairie girl at heart, but this photo sure does it for me. The distant houses, the trees and farm buildings. Now, I want to figure out how to paint that feeling.
I woke up feeling pretty darn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here in Tofino I feel intimidated by the art of it. Its a complex feeling, but so intense its hard to ignore.
I wonder how others feel when presented with profound natural beauty. Awestruck? Mystified? Emotional? I feel all these things, as well as a surging impulse to take it in, to process it and to [...]]]></description>

so, its been a while.
Driving up here I had so many memories, of the ocean. Spending time with my friends family in Sointula, Port Mc Neil, At Ferries, Camping in Tofino, The islands, New Zealand, yeah, so many memories, and Ive been aching to spend time by the ocean recently.
And now. Here I am.

so it is our last night at Rivendell.
As you can tell, it has been transforming being here. The river, the people, the amazing lush forest, the gardens, the plants, the buildings, the lifestyle has all embraced us. For me, this place is regenerating. I could stay forever.
I have to say, that the Cowichan river is [...]]]></description>
