Life's a Stitch

People told me that in retirement I’d have so much to do, I’d wonder where the time went. So true. How did I ever fit a day of work into my schedule? 

Deep breath. One thing at a time. Fortunately mostly good these past two weeks.

The first good thing was the opportunity to participate in a three day workshop with Lian Quan Zhen – physician, architect, artist, vegetarian Buddhist, skilled teacher and in-class comedian.

Instead of the photo realistic style I’ve adopted, this involved giving up control of your paint by pouring, splattering and blowing the colours across the paper. And you only used the three primary colours. How scary is that? If you’re me….very.

Well I got up my nerve and orchids were the first of two subjects we learned.

The challenging aspect, these past two weeks, was the demise of my 2011 MacBook. It was the device of choice for my blogging activity. Bear with me while I resort to IPad posting.
