Today I got to do something that I have not done in far too long...I painted a picture! A fairly big canvas too, 20" x 24". It's not totally finished, but close. Very satisfying.
This is my year to re-claim my creativity.
I am grateful that Life supports my creative explorations!

Just a small diversion, but I saw a great vid on morning glory clouds and Jonny Durand hang-gliding around one. It was filmed around Burketown (2009) an outback Queensland town at the Gulf of Carpentaria where the morning glory clouds are not uncommon.
0.00-3.50 is scenic shots of Burketown surrounds (no sound)
3.50-7.45 is the hang-gliding shots with sound
7.45 onward is a short interview with Jonny about the flight.

After listening to this for about the 20th time, I thought the feelin'-groovy-thread should have it.
