Hi Cranky Fibro Girl, Hi Christine,

Thanks for reading, and yes, christine, I get that too, having a break from creating art for a while and coming back to find things have shifted.

Cheers

Dave,
Yet another beautiful illustration, and such a lovely way to frame the idea. One of my biggest surprises in my creative journey has been how my work keeps developing even when I am not “doing” it. Just walking through my day to day life, I see things and my eye keeps developing and learning. After a break from the studio, I may have a short period where I am getting used to the medium again, but the quality of the images are often stronger. So yes, that rose ladder is the totality of our lives.

Dave,
Beautiful painting and beautiful post! Thank you so much!

As soon as I finish writing this note to you I am going to print this post out and hang it above my desk in my creative space!

I have fond memories of the wild roses that my mother tended to outside our home, when I was very young. Have always had a special connection with them ever since.

I also am presently struggling to just allow my creativity to lead me wherever it would like me to focus.

A beautiful rose ladder of creativity to support me thru my doubt and fear.

This post comes at a most perfect moment in time.
