It’s Crazy

I was totally absorbed in leaves today - it was a dreary, wet day outside.  Jelly and Misty were snoozing in the front room and Dana, my new foster dog, discovered the office chair to be a perfect napping spot.  Music from Pandora filled the studio and I worked….one leaf and at time.  

At the end of the day I propped this encaustic against the wall to think about where I’ll start tomorrow and it struck me as odd, as it does every now and then — that doing this is so important to me.  I spend hours, days actually, working on a board - and while I’m doing it, my successes and failures effect my outlook on everything in my life.  My whole world is dictated by a 12” x 16” piece of wood….and some wax.

It’s crazy.  It really is.
