Just when I need a little push in the freeing of my creativity there is always a friend to help me along. Show me ways to just dive in, forget how you look, not to worry about the finished product, and have a little fun.

I am leaving for Monhegan Island tomorrow 5 A.M. A blissful two weeks to think of nothing but painting and enjoying my friends.

This tiny Island off the coast of Maine has a way of clearing your mind, helping you start fresh, and just makes me a better person.

I first discovered this quaint island, along with my sister through a painting workshop in 2008. Where we met four amazing women who live scattered across the States. We have a developed a special bond and return to this creative Mecca every year.

Its not extravagant or plush, but we have plenty of wine.

A painting in every view. We all try to complete two paintings a day, we are not slouches!

And much much more to help bring you at peace with yourself. So I will try and bring you bits and pieces of this experience ( They say our house this year has WI-fi but I know we are lucky to have even a phone connection). But I bet when I come back I will be writing a blog daily, and just loving life. Oh yea a special thanks to B.C. for holding down the fort, love you!
