We've been here just over three months and I still haven't gotten our decor organized, hungry, and into a visual vibe. (That's normal, right?๐Ÿ˜ณ) I just hung stuff up where there were existing nails from the prior tenant. You can see a painting there behind the nightstand that doesn't have a home yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I will get intentional but it hasn't happened quite yet. . This painting has been a surprise. I hung it in our bedroom and I've been enjoying its energy a lot. It feels cheerful without being unrealistic, if that makes sense. It feels grounding and hopeful. ๐Ÿฅฐ https://www.instagram.com/p/CjbGtWKPBE8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We finished our conversation, this painting and me. At least I think so. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I'll put it where I can see it and see if anything else comes up. What does it have to say to you? Good or bad... Does it make you think of hope, complexity, and/or interconnectedness? Or do you feel antipathy, confusion, unease, or frustration? Both and more? I'm just making things up. What conversations and feelings does it evoke in you? (Hint: there are no wrong answers.) โœจ #artconversation #artexperience #abstractart #intuitiveartist #tuesdaypainting #abstractlovers #risingtidesociety #artfans #workingwomenartists #artistenergy (at Mount Baker, Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiLy3k1p5ou/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Not all spaces allow for this, but I love when the light filters in and creates different feelings and perspectives on the same piece of art. Our new home has some lovely times of day from the outside light filtering in. I know when fall and winter come and we have more days of rain and grey... I will need to create our own interesting interior lighting (which I'm looking forward to). ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธโ˜บ๏ธ But for now, I'm enjoying the beautiful summer light. โ˜€๏ธ * ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ: This painting is still available on my website. 18โ€x24โ€ (ignore that the link says 25"... Not sure how I messed that up. ๐Ÿ˜‚) ๐Ÿ›๏ธ https://no-ordinary-moment.myshopify.com/products/untitled-18-x-25 ๐Ÿ›๏ธ (link to my store can also be found in my bio) (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7Vj22pCF6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's hot here in Seattle but we are being spared triple digits. ๐Ÿ˜… The early morning is nice and I went out to say hello to the flowers in the yard and see how they were faring. * We've been here a month and are kinda-sorta settled in. Functionally settled to be sure. There's lots of organizing, shifting and tweaking things, and tackling the remaining chaos in the garage yet to go. * How are you doing? How's the summer treating you? (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cghiep8vldv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I spent a bit more time this afternoon with these flowers. ๐ŸŒธ I can tell it is going to take some time to get back into a feeling of flow but that's okay. I'm enjoying being back in front of the canvas with a brush in hand. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŽจ (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgNrvn7piiQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Wednesday. ๐ŸŒž Acorn used the phrase "moving vertigo" and that feels about right. I'm grateful to be in the house that will be our home... And it feels like I'm roleplaying being here. We bought a few groceries yesterday and I found myself thinking "we won't make it through all this before we leave...". ๐Ÿ˜… . And, it's been an adventure already. I feel the edges of my comfort zones being pushed, bent and sometimes broken. It's both an uncomfortable and expansive, joy-filled experience. And I feel so lucky to share it with and be supported by Paul and Acorn. (at Mount Baker) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZerJDp2yV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of the many favorite things that I have, about living in our safe haven between moves, is the window view. It changes constantly. From time of day, to what lights are lit, and what the weather is.... it's a view with personality and moods. I haven't yet met a single one that hasn't been endearing and charming. โค๏ธ https://www.instagram.com/p/CeunBI0r5Se/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm in my feels today about this move. Like I mentioned... Our home has become a house again as we pack it up. And now, I'm moving around the house, neighborhood, and town feeling more and more like a visitor than a resident. No wonder moving is listed as one of the highest life stressors. ๐Ÿ˜… * All is going well though and we will have a bubble of respite and calm before we climb in the UHaul for Seattle. I'm really really looking forward to that. * #movingjourney #goingwiththeflow #inmyfeels #feelingsareokay #mondayvibes #herecomesathought (at Encinitas, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWfhclvghD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Life offers paths that we have the fortune to choose and those that are made for us. Either way, we have to choose what we are going to do with them. * ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ YOU CHOOSE | 12" x 36" Painting available at my online gallery Link in bio. https://no-ordinary-moment.myshopify.com/products/you-choose-12-x-36 (at North County, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdRhq97PsV6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I got to see my painting hung in the home where it now lives. ๐Ÿฅฐ It's waiting on a custom frame but it is already living on the wall bringing its energy into the space. It makes my heart so happy! * #artcollectors #homedecorations #interiordesignart #abstractobsession #abstractpainting (at Cardiff By The Sea, CA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdJpwh-vC3l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy May. This week begins our last month of living in this house. We been here five years and it has been a good home for the three of us. Even though we will be here for a bit yet, with the packing and detangling of ourselves from this place, it already feels like we have moved out of the home that it was. It's become a house we are living in for a few more weeks instead of our home. I'm already missing the home. * We got some news yesterday that makes my melancholy less acute though. Mostly, it was a sweet reminder that home is as much or more our family and community as it is a physical place. ๐Ÿ’œ * #familyishome #chosenfamily #grapeleaves #shelter #grapevines #grateful (at San Jacinto, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdEDAR8prX7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good morning! It's Friday. It's clear with not a cloud in the sky here.โ˜€๏ธ I'm organizing, packing, and cleaning. I had to take a break hauling boxes to the storage unit because I fell Wednesday evening when out on a walk. I hurt the tendon in my right arm and bruised my left shoulder. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ I'm about 75% better and should be back to lifting and hauling things by Monday. * I really want to be painting but it's looking like I'm going to have to wait until we are moved out of here and settled into our temporary accomodations until we move to Seattle end of June. I've been working on my website, greeting card products, and marketing though. So hopefully that will keep my lil art business going. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜˜ * Love you all. Thanks for checking in, your comments and sharing your life directly and through your feeds. It is so amazing to see and hear what's happening for you. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ (at North County, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc8LQmgL3CK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
