Yesterday, February 29, I took advantage of the warmth of the day and scooted out to my pal Daina’s house in Lawrencetown for some painting and chin wagging. She has a lovely bright studio next to her house (my dream) and we spent a great morning immersed in colour and chat! And yes, we actually got some work done:) Daina works in oils primarily and I work with acrylics. They dry fast and clean up easily with water. Easy peasy. While waiting for the paint to dry on my larger piece, I would work on a smaller one and switch between them. We took a break for lunch. PB and banana sandwiches and cappuccino ! Tried to sit outside but it wasn’t quite warm enough. Ha after all it WAS Feb 29 but what an amazing day! She lives 2 minutes from the beach. We took advantage of the mild weather and headed out for a post lunch walk on Conrad Beach. It was windy and salty and wild and wonderful!
Signs of life:) Love the colours in mussel shells!! It is about a half hour drive from Halifax, just before Lawrencetown beach. A tiny sign that says Conrad Road is all the warning you get:) You walk along a boardwalk to get to it. (note: It is under re-construction at the moment)

Back to the car we headed, tired and energized. Physically weary but emotionally high!
I had a wonderful creative and soul filling day, thanks Daina! xo
