My painting and winter

Here is the progress on my painting.
It is coming along slowly as I only work on this on Wednesday afternoons.
I have also been painting a new mandala, which I can't just show yet.
And tomorrow I have to work again. How time flies. We have been working on clearing the garage, nearly done :)
Today winter has arrived, maybe this time for real. The first snowflakes are falling. It makes me nervous as tomorrow I have to report early for work and I wonder how traffic and trains will function. Today  we had the 3th power interruption in Rotterdam this month. So I just hope nothing goes wrong tomorrow and I can catch my flight to LA. I am looking forward  to some normal weather and shopping.
Life has been busy but I expect February to be much easier and quiet. I hope to have more time to blog and to visit you all. I also look forward to do some art. Hope to find time and inspiration for that.

Have a nice day and see you soon ☺

    what soothing colors, marianne. there is nothing like the warmth of the sea.

    so the garage is nearly cleared out? that's great. i've found major cleanup are such hard work until the relief stage kicks in, and i hope you're close. i also hope no weather snags to get to your flight. i envy the warm weather you;ll be flying into. enjoy, marianne. you deserve the warmth of your painting.

    love

      Thanks KJ, and yes the garage is nearly cleared out.
      I am enjoying the beautiful weather here while it is really really cold at home. Glad to miss that experience :)

    Love the seascape....it is coming along beautifully. You have been busy - with birthdays, shed cleaning and...helping *teach* little Baron to *behave* in public!

    SNOW! Ordinarily, I would say fabulous - but know tomorrow is flight day.....fingers crossed all works out smoothly and you are back in *LA LA LAND*...warmth and......shopping!! A-ha-ha! Can't wait to chat - in the same time zone!

    Love,

      All went well. The plane left 40 minutes late because of the de icing, that was all :)

    CAn't wait to see how your painting ends up. It has beautiful colors. I bet you can't wait to get the garage emptied so your studio can evolve. Such fun... Have a good work stretch. Lucky you getting to visit with Robin.

    Your painting is coming along beautifully! I need to set up a regular time where I can do my art...I always feel like I'm squeezing it in and I hate starting something only to get pulled away a dozen times. I cannot wait until I'm retired and have more time!!!

      I know that feeling, that is why I go to my art group on Wednesday (whenI am home) at home always something pulls me awayduring daytime and in the evenings I can only paint when I am not tired

    I hope you have safe flights to and back. I love how your painting is coming along. Makes me yearn for the beach even more than I usually do! Maybe spring will be at your house upon your return.

      I on;y paint on this one on Wednesdays because then I go to our art group. The painting stays there so I can't work at it at home, that s why.
