I’ve been away from the blog for a couple of weeks now - partly taking a break after the intensive photo journaling and partly because I have fallen victim to one of the nasty late winter bugs that have been doing the rounds.

After all that photography it seems like a good idea to focus on art for this post. Lifebook is still streaming ahead and I am finding it good fun though I don’t always connect with the lessons and thats fine - I am really learning to choose to do things because I want to rather than because I think I should (in the context of leisure at least!)

The really exciting news is that I have signed up for an art retreat Call of the Wild Soul which will take place in Somerset in September - three days of workshops with artists and photographers including and Teesha Moore Madelyn Mulvany & Flora Bowley - I really can’t wait.

I have also signed up for another e-course Creative Courage with Stephanie Levy which I hope is going to help me ‘listen to my whispers’ as Kelly Rae Roberts would put it.

In the meantime have have been doing some work on the art front alongside the photography focusing on the theme of winter trees.
