I couldn't resist posting about my sister's recently published book. She's done a great job of writing about her recovery from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. If you're interested you can read the blurb on Amazon by clicking here.
Above is a picture of a beautiful owl (I think it is a Boobook) that spent a few days in one of our trees this week. It's not a common occurrence to spot an owl so it was such a thrill to discover one in our own garden.
It has been perfect beach weather of late and I've been making the most of it. Below are some snaps I took last week. It is Australia Day tomorrow and with the forecast being in the high 30s Celsius it will be the perfect place to celebrate.
Not a lot happening on the art front just lately as I focus heavily on finishing my own book.
Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

ReplyDeleteWendy - I would love to read your sister's book - will certainly check out Amazon when I get an opportunity. Love your warm photos and your owl is awesome. I hear one once and awhile in the summer but never have spotted them. So glad you shared. Take care and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYour have a great eye with the camera, Wendy, thats for sure. Good camera too.
ReplyDeleteThe owl is special. Almost a spiritual feeling when you are the one chosen to visit.
I wish your sister many good wishes for success with her book.
Not an easy subject so many kuddos go to her.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Good to hear from you again.
You are such a talented family, Wendy! Congratulations to your sister and soon there will be yours as well! I love your beach photos, what a great way to spend the holiday! The owl is a beautiful sight, I am amazed he didn't fly away. Enjoy Australia day and some sunshine for me too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your sister on publication of her book. I admire her for writing on a subject that people need to be more educated about.
ReplyDeleteWe have a blizzard going on here in New Yor. Those beach photos are a treat.
First I want to say that it's obvious your visual sense is always working! Those pics are wonderful and beautiful! I hope your sister's book does well! It's a subject that many people have suffered in silence. I hope her voice will touch others, I am sure it will. I look forward to my Australia field trips via your blog! Here's to a creative and happy 2015!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jane! I wish you could enjoy the beach with me sometime!
Deletebeautiful gorgeous photos Wendy! No wonder you've been doing other things besides painting, it's SUMMER where you are and that's reason enough, or at least it would be for me!! how exciting to spot the owl in your tree, and I love what you did with the acrylic painting from the two photos of your beach. Also so exciting to have your sister's book published! Congrats to her and to you for the one you're working on too. so impressed by that, and look forward to hearing more about it when you are ready. Love your photo pictures nice to be reminded of how beautiful summer is. xo
