Nearly There!

I can taste it; the ability to stay in one place with my scottish cat, my husky dog rescue, and my paints!  Sooner than you think, I'll be living in my little 3/4 finished house on the Talpa Ridge and painting, hosting art classes, workshops, and friends.  This journey, to create a home space from which to launch myself once again, into the world, has tested me physically, emotionally and of course, financially!!  It's been like resurrecting a living, breathing sculpture.  Walls can't be finished yet; not until the electrical system has its' rough in exam...  What a process!  But I've got 3 floors down, a 4th ready to be screwed down and the bricks for the kitchen.  I am so tired, I can hardly move, let alone pick up a paint brush!!

I know I said in the last blog that I would begin to paint as soon as I have one floor down....but, in order to get into my house by early March, I must put all my energy into floors, and working with my plumber (soon as I call him) to get in toilets, a bath tub, the combi-boiler, two sinks, and right now, I need 3" screws!!  I ran out today. I will begin to paint in March, when I occupy my abode with my cat and my dog!
