Renovations

It has been quite a busy time for me in the last month or so...unfortunately the busyness is not with my art work but with my life.  We have decided  that city life is just not for us any more...noisy neighbours, barking dogs, smelly traffic.....  we are happily dreaming of a house in the country...maybe by a lake or in a forest.   But in order to sell our house quickly and for as much money as possible, we must renovate.  That is what is taking up most of my time.  New kitchen, new floors, patching up holes and dents in walls, painting, fixing old and tired parts of house, etc... We are also checking out some houses that we are interested in...which is very time consuming as well.  Some days I feel like we drive for hours looking at houses.  Most of them are not what I want...some are close.  So right now almost all of my art making has been put on hold.  I do manage to squeeze in a bit in here and there, a sketch or two, a splash of paint, but it may be awhile before I can focus on my art again.  I miss it already.
