Retreat

I am taking a personal retreat for two weeks – what this means is confusing, even to me in this technological age. In short, I engaging only in basic media – reading, writing, drawing, painting, and, of course, a little blogging. (I think that some communication is essential to an older single person!)2.25.2013

Yesterday our Journey Daybook board took its own retreat at Fanning Springs State Park, on the Suwannee River. It was a dark day with frequent bursts of heavy rain – even a thunder storm; however, as a group, we got a lot of work done. For me, yesterday represented a “retreat within a retreat” – so lovely!

2.25.2013.2I have been exploring the use of opaque media that are permanent and can be worked over with pen and ink and other media. Yesterday, I made two pages outside using acrylics and acrylic gouache together. I believe that both of these pages represent my spirit on this “beautiful” dark day.
