Backwards

Backwards Spiraling out of control. Going backwards. I loved this concept but didn't seem to be able to move forward past my rough sketch in my journal at the beginning of the week. I realised I was probably feeling like I was going backwards. I hadn't even managed the last IF and this time cutting it real fine. Bu yay! here I am. did you miss me? I am so inspired by all the illustrators work on IF, its fantastic. I must work out how to leave messages to other artists out there with a little more confidence. I am now trying to move forwards and not backwards. Enjoying some holiday leading up to Christmas and managing to get lots of painting done. BLISS. Christmas cheer to all that read my blog.

EXCESS

Christmas time is nearly hear,
people spending wildly I fear.
Buying presents to great excess,
when really we can cope with less.
To give has great pleasure and joy,
but just one present just one toy.
Then there is enough to share,
and we can all love and care.
Christmas can be all things in excess,
a time of kindness and love to express.
Spreading cheer and good will,
I have Christmas stockings to fill.
