Color Pencil Sketch from the Patio

I’m house sitting  a mini farm for a few weeks. There are 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 fish and 13 chickens. It’s a beautiful place to be! The woman who lives here is an artist. At the entrance to her studio was this poem: The essence of life is to care, the secret of life is to dare, the adventure of life is to learn, the challenge of life is is to change, the joy of life is to love.

This painting started while I was chatting at an art party with a few friends. I included 4 affirmations that made sense to me at the time; I am part of a support community, I learn easily, I work quickly, My life is joyful.

truth

at home under his feathers
golden ring a flame
eternity is now

Life is all is life, now is eternal is now, history is memory is history

A nice place

You are
an independent
creative being
that’s all
you can be
