The very nice thing about having a blog is hearing from treasured but somehow lost friends. The bad thing is staring at a blank computer screen. It has been months and months since I last took fingers to keyboard because writing is far down my list of favorite things to do. To be honest, it’s never made the favorite list…never, ever came close… writing is on the dread list that includes cleaning the bathroom, weighing myself and defrosting the freezer in the garage. Today I am not defrosting the freezer.
For the past six months I’ve had two easels smoking…acrylics when I feel the need for a brush in my hand and oil pastels because, gosh darn, I love them! Compared to painting oil pastels are so, so neat…a little stuff gets under the fingernails but who can’t live with that? No brushes to clean, no water to fetch, no paint smudges on my shirts, no worries about spilling….oil pastels=easy living!
