The Little Things

As an artist I can find creative inspiration in most things but I didn’t expect it during my recent total knee replacement and recovery.   Yet in this month of confinement with quiet hours, grueling exercise and lots of self reflection came a heightened awareness of …. beautiful little things.  Like sun filtering into my room through blinds and sheer curtains and highlighting the textures of my basket collection.  Or, the abstracted shapes of shadows on the house across the street.  These “little things” are showing up in my small watercolor book that I use each day.  What an unexpected joy!   Sharing a couple of these 8 x 8 sketches with you.  In appreciation, Kathleen
