Portraits of Halloween

Yes, you guessed right. These ladies are my Halloween portrait series that are now available in the shop. The bottom three are actually making a comeback from last year, seeing how eager they all seem, to be roaming inside The Wish Forest once again. :)

Well to be honest, I should really work on some more Halloween stuff, but this week I have been going through one of  those creative dead ends. It's like facing a blank wall and nothing is coming out no matter how hard I try. Don't you just hate it when that happens? Some people say that relaxation is the best medicine for this, but with three kids to handle 24 hours a day, relaxation is actually a very rare thing around here! I seriously think that someone should just invent some kind of magic potion to relieve the problem.  Now, wouldn't that be awesome? LOL.

How about you? Do you get these nasty dry spells too? What do you do when you're going through a creative rut? Do share! :)

Hugs,

Down to Half

Checking through my mails and messages, I received a few asking if I would be having any sale on my original pieces soon.... So I thought maybe it's about time I do! And this time I'm going all the way, pushing the bar down to HALF PRICE! Yes, sirree... I feel so blessed and thankful that many of you appreciate my art and would love to have it as a part of your life. Here are a few examples of my discounted items, available in the shop as of today!

Hope to see you there! :)

As the Curtain Falls

Last week, I was fortunate enough to finally take a little quick getaway. It wasn't something we'd planned perfectly. In fact, it was the first trip we had after a while. Having an uncomfortable 10 months old baby in the car for long hours was tough and my exhausted mind and body were not cooperating at all. I think this particular trip deserves to be bookmarked in my What to Do and What Not to Do Guide as a Mommy of Three. :))

However, by the time the ocean was in sight, everything seemed worthwhile. The baby whining, the children bickering, the headache, all just slowly melted away and disappeared. Everyone stared outside in silence as we drove across the beautiful coastline.

I myself, have always thought of the sea as bewitching, especially at sunset. Unlike most people who loves to visit the ocean when the sun is high up in the sky, I prefer to pay my respects when the day is at its end and the waves are serenading their farewell song. There's a kind of magic that seems to linger in the air. As if all creatures stand across the stage, bowing with the last applause. I'm just glad I got to watch the curtain falls this one time, especially with my loved ones by my side.

So how about you? Any quick getaways on the horizon? :)




PS: Thank you to my lovely husband for taking these breath taking pictures. OXOX
