A Beautiful Day

Friends 10 x 12" acrylic

On our morning walk, I could feel the sea calling.
The sun is shining so beautifully, a mild day in February.
I can hardly wait till I can put my neoprene suit on again and swim.

 
I used to swim as a child and than living in bigger cities I had not made the transition going to the indoor pools. Last summer, I was overcome with joy to discover my deep love for the water again. And with this fantastic suit on, I feel somewhat protected because I am a pool girl deep at heart.

Calm

The last couple of month have been pretty emotional for me. 

It feels good to produce art with lighter colours. It reminds me of summer. Well, today reminds me of spring to have 8C and sunny in February in Nova Scotia is amazing. 

Tomorrow, it will be 23 years that I have taking the journey to come to Canada. 

Just last week I have taken my Canadian Citizen test, how exciting!

Canada and it's people have been good to me, despite the cold winters, the warmth of the people is the compensation.

Sipping tea, looking out the window at the birch trees, the bark stripped by a hungry porcupine, and listening to the tripping of the snow hitting the ground. Calm! Today, not quite grounded to make some more art, but calm.
