she shines from within and a dream seed...

i'm loving hats at the moment - can you tell?  having lived in the country on and off for many years, hats become both a necessity for life in the sun, and a symbol of fun and community when events such as race-round take place ( the annual horse-racing event).  some simple, some flamboyant.  hats, caps and fascinators of all sorts, i love 'em!  and i want to paint more more more!!!   so many ideas, and so little time...

have you been reading about Squam Art Workshops lately?  there's more about it here and here...and every person who went has posted wonderful dreamy magical stories about hteir time there, i could link them all.    all those wonderful posts about the time in the woods, the art, the creating, friendships made, continued.  the magic.  it sounds like a wonderful experience, so much more than an art retreat.  i would love to see something like that here - or in the south west.  wouldn't that be awesome?  for those of you reading this from the west coast of australia, you'd know what i'm talking about when i say the south west area.  i'm putting this out to the universe. let's have something magical here in our own backyard - why not?   i'd love love love to have something similar here - with the beauty and magic that is so befitting of a creative adventure- would you be interested ???  Let's talk!

and until the universe answers back, i'll just live vicariously through all you lucky souls who lived the experience and adventure of squam 09...
