Silent
11×14 mixed media on canvas
True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
~William Penn
I’m sick. 🙁 It’s been a whole year since my last cold. I even had to call in sick yesterday from work. I lied down on the sofa, for a good part of yesterday, which is probably the noisiest place in the house. The kids buzzed around me in the hyperactive, rainy day way. I was finally able to gather them up and convinced them to watch movies with me. We watched the The Black Stallion and A Wrinkle in Time. It was a nice way to get a little rest.
Today was even better. I got the kids off to school and came home. It was silent and beautiful, especially for my aching head. I do feel a little better today, but now I have an annoying cough. I’ll just have to keep sipping my tea.
I painted the above painting on Friday of last week for Illustration Friday. It’s been a really long time since I played.
This is a really beautiful piece. I’ve been sick for over a week myself…setting the kids up in front of a movie or two sounds like a great plan for tomorrow. I’m finally on an antibiotic; hopefully it will do the trick!
She looks very at peace and enjoying her quite moment.
Best wishes to you, hope you get well soon.
That’s quite a beautiful painting. The texture and shapes you’ve worked in are terrific. It’s also got lovely colors and a nice, peaceful feeling. Sorry you’re sick!
This is beautiful and goes along so nicely with the quote. Love the vibrancy of the colours and the texture in this piece.

Have a nice evening, resting, I hope ;:OD)

ZINC! under the tongue, builds your immune, I am a Jr. High Art Teacher and it has kept colds at bay for several years now, I swear by it and give it to my collegues for Christmas presents. Any person in the public (I see 170 students every day!) needs to ditch the fantasy of Emergen-c working and get their zinc on.
Your site is a hectic day vacation for me, thank you for all the effort you put into it. Lovely work, lovely lady, lovely Mom! Feel better wishes coming your way!
