Farm blog

I'm also writing a farm blog that details our homesteading adventure. If you are interested in micro-farming or homesteading, check out this blog http://onelittlefarm.blogspot.com/. While I will continue to blog at this site (K's Bloomin' Art Garden)it will primarily be spiritual ranting and raving and lessons learned, and if I'm lucky, I might detail some art project I'm working on.

Speaking of art, I've been working on a painting out of acrylic of a fairytale castle scene for my son. I have painted several paintings for my children over the years, but nothing for my two year old boy, as of yet. Since my office/studio/spare bedroom/storage space has become the farm bird hospital, I haven't worked on the painting, which is slow going anyway. Maybe I could get it done for Christmas?

I try not to forget the art and have several projects in mind. I collect recycled materials (like the cardboard tubing the greenhouse plastic came on--what a great material to use in a sculpture project) and dream of days when there will be more time to dedicate to art.

For now, with two little ones in tow, my husband and I are working on building our own sustainable paradise here in the Rocky Mountains of Southern Colorado. I hope that in the future, when we can support ourselves off of our own land and ingenuity, I can spend more time playing in paint. What a day that will be...when the muse is set free!
