For one thing, I don't have the distractions of another person or pet that most people have while they are both out and about or home. For another, use of a digital camera helped me to look deeper and closer at the world. I often think my dad would not believe it since he was always pointing things out right under my feet that I wasn't seeing. He'd get so frustrated with me! Perhaps his own incredible powers of observation are just now coming out in me!<br /><br />I think I've always been a "deep thinker" (but not necessarily calm) but now have even more leeway for what you call calm reflective time (although sometimes it just feels like staring off into space!) So interesting that you see the effects in my work. I guess I do too.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-84122625792340488122015-09-19T18:26:01.439-07:002015-09-19T18:26:01.439-07:00Thanks, Nadia!

In fact, you are one of the influences that convinced me to write a narrative along side the sketches in the comforts sketchbook. And I too did a double take when you mentioned your 105 degree temps while we are pulling on our sweatshirts! It's so fun and educational to have blogging friends from all over the world.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-41861354762710242102015-09-19T05:37:47.895-07:002015-09-19T05:37:47.895-07:00I like your trees...a suggestion of leaves rather ...I like your trees...a suggestion of leaves rather than the reality. very nice.<br /><br />Susan Sawatzkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913264107055661374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-80237113396156926882015-09-19T04:17:12.896-07:002015-09-19T04:17:12.896-07:00Your powers of observation are always inspiring……a...Your powers of observation are always inspiring……and push me to stopping a bit more to ‘take it all in’!!

And I can't even imagine "cool and rainy" at this point as I remain glued to the AC with temperatures over 90°.<br /><br />best, nadiaMulticoloredPieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161913409399066123noreply@blogger.com
