Hi, I should start a little blog on how hot it is here. I wish I was in a cooler place as I need something to cool me down.

The morning heat starts to suck out the water in your body so that you have to keep up your water intake all day. The heat during the night was hotter than body temperature and makes it harder to breathe, lucky we have air conditioning. It’s great when I have to hold up the cool sheets to my chin. Went to the shops today and felt myself getting burnt through the car window, the air con in the car was on icy cool and boy did we need it. I felt like my head was about to burst with all this heat as I walked to and from the shopping centre to do my shopping this morning at 9.30am, must have been in the thirty’s already. How we long for some rain to wet the place down, it doesn’t rain much here. But it is dark now and there is a cool refreshing breeze blowing in on me through the front door, it is good. I would just love to see snow and put my feet in it, rub some on my head and make it easier to breath, sit in front of a roaring fire and sleep there would be wonderful, just as good as sleeping out on the day bed in the hot shade.

Once again you’ve gifted us with a beautiful painting. I love the dark strokes and the tiny bit of flame in her lap. This painting is perfect for this time of year. The boldness of the black is a great contrast with the line work in her hair and shadow. Another emotional piece to go along with your bear and dragonfly key, but in a much more intimate setting.
It kind of reminds me of the “Air” card in my Well Worn Path deck that was my focus for the last six weeks. Coincidentally, today is the day that I pick a new one.

I love the picture you painted. It spoke to me as I look out on this MI gray blustery day.

Your work is amazing.

I am not the least bit artistic Leah and a bit ashamed to admit that because I really wish I had that talent. But, I certainly can appreciate your beautiful work – and am glad I stumbled upon your blog to indulge in this more often.

Thank you for sharing this.

This is really beautiful, Leah. I feel a sense of comfort in being one’s self as I look at it.

superb! my doldrums tend to creep in during the late winter, usually during february, when i’m tired of winter but i know spring is far away. i’m going to bookmark this one for the inevitable blues that come my way every year at that time!

I’m rather captivated by that image. It is so dark, yet hopeful. Perfect for winter.

i sometimes have bright moments that make me think of your glimmers. just a spark or peak around the corner of “What if!” i think as artists we live for those bright moments that glimmer, shimmer and shine. may they lead us into our best selves through art! thanks Lea for your encouragements thru art and words and the art of words! sonja
