Hi Everyone,
Well I realize its been some time since I updated my studio blog. It
was a very busy time this past summer moving into our new home in South
Africa. The big container from Canada arrived in early July and I think
spent over 2 months unpacking and settling in. Was a really big move and
I think one of the hardest moves for me. Must be the
age...lol. My husband was travelling quite a bit and I was pretty much
alone to do it all. Anyways, the house is done and I finally got my
studio furniture and its done. Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to
really do any painting.
In September, I was travelling with my husband to
Durban and we stayed in Zimbali. We had a wonderful vacation. I just loved the drive from Johannesbug to Durban.
In October I was back in Canada visiting family
for about 1.5 months and sadly my beautiful Aunt Lorraine passed
away. Was a very hard time for all of us. She will always be in my
heart. On a happier note, I really enjoyed spending time with my
little God Daughters Morgan and Margaux who are really growing up so
fast! They are just so wonderful.
December was a busy month and then there was Christmas and New
Years. Was so nice to have our first Christmas in South Africa
with no snow. I have to say I am not missing those long hard
Canadian Winters one bit. It is summer here in South
Africa and the weather is amazing.
In early January we had our good friends from Denmark come for a visit. They
really enjoyed their time here in South Africa and also went on a safari which
they loved.
After our guests left, we took a long weekend and went to Sun City and stayed at the Very Opulent African Hotel, The Palace of the Lost City. It was just gorgeous. A designers dream. As Pilanesberg Game Reserve is right nearby, we went on a lovely early evening Safari. It was truly an amazing experience. I will post some pics of our trip.
So now back home, I am feeling so inspired from that wonderful getaway and pretty ready to start some paintings. Wishing you
all a wonderful week.
