I am starting to pack for my move to North Carolina.
To say that my life is changing is an understatement.
My house has sold in record time in a slow market just as Sara Creekmore said it would. By the end of 2009 I will be divorced after 35 years of marriage. My two grown sons will most likely be living in the Northwest so I will be a long ways from them. I have been living alone for the first time in my life.
I don't like it.
I am moving to NC to explore a new relationship and to explore an artistic collaboration. One Hundred Horses will continue as a business and new work will be evolving and added as I am ready to share it with the world. The last few months have been very up and down and full of discovery, pain and joy.
I am overwhelmed by the amount of treasures I want to bring!
Packing up the studio will be interesting to say the least.
Driving across the country will be an adventure. I have no idea what it will be like but usually I enjoy the spontaneity of travel and love being an onlooker and explorer in America and Canada.
My last cross country travels were back when I was 21 and hitch hiking across Canada and America several times in 6 months. I became addicted to the road. Back then I had a small journal that I drew in. Above is some of the work I did back then when pen and ink was my medium. Maybe I should bring the same journal and add to it?
Ruth! I had no idea you were such an incredible pen and ink artist! You have such secret hidden talents, I look forward to the little treasures you drop on me as I know you more and more! Love, Jaime
