Ode to Biking

Today I finished "Ode to Biking".  I've been thinking a lot about the good old days when I used to do a bit of mountain biking.  Soon, the trails up at Sun Peaks will be open and I was imagining the thrill of biking downhill with the wind in my hair.  I have a great imagination.

I'm feeling a bit guilty because I'm going to take a week off from my daily painting.  I've been working for the last 3 days on this painting and I am feeling a little drained.  I sat for about an hour today and tried to come up with something to paint this week each day and found that my mind was rebelling.  I'm having trouble focusing, and am just a bit tired.  


 I am in the process of getting prints and art cards made and have applied to be part of a "pop-up" gallery in Kamloops during the Kamloops Spring Festival, May 22, 23, & 24.  This means getting a display together which is a new experience for me.  I don't shy away from new experiences but they do take away some of my brain power..... and most of the time I need all the brain power I can get.  


On top of all of that, my granddaughter is in the hospital and we are hoping she will be out tomorrow and they will be able to come up to Sun Peaks for Easter as planned.  I have my fingers crossed.  She is a sweetheart, and I wish I had the power to make her all better.  


So.... I hope I will be forgiven for letting myself take a week off.  I think it will be a good thing.
