It’s distracting sometimes livin’ in such a beautiful place, but somehow I manage. Had an AWESOME day skiing yesterday. Felt like a bird zooming all over the mountains and thru the trees. Definitely the closest thing to flying. And there’s NOTHING like the mountain air to fill your lungs, and the burn in the thighs…I love it. I’ll be doing more in March…Seems like graces are falling in abundance from the skies lately…not only fresh powder on the slopes, but we got tickets for Hawaii a couple days ago! Leaving tomorrow! Wooohoo! I have a lot of work coming up in March (for some months) so this will be a fun break before that starts. We’re visiting my brother and his family in Honolulu for 7 days and going to Kauai for 9 days to trek and snorkel and kayak and swim and play, and to just soak up the sun and warmth and GREENESS and beauty. Can you believe I’ve never been snorkeling? (Except in Arkansas, but I don’t know if silver minnows count, even though I enjoyed it then!) Can’t wait to paint the under-water world.
Ahh, It’s SO fun to be spontaneous! Aloha!

Sounds like a great adventure at the perfect time :-) Looking forward to what the Hawaiian Islands inspire in your work. Travel safely :-)

Oh lucky you! You should have an amazing time, those islands are sooo beautiful, specially Kauai, and the fish WILL inspire you, so I hope you got a waterproof painting kit ;-) Tell all about it and post art when you’re back!

Perhaps you should change your blog to call it “Luckiest Woman Alive”!!! Just kidding, you definitely deserve all of this :)
You’ll be so inspired by the underwater world, can’t wait to see what you paint.
That’s it, I’m going snowboarding STAT! Have a great trip!

Just got your message – wow, I guess the universe gave you what you wanted and needed – and deserved.
Have a wonderful journey…

Hawaii!!!?! Cool, cool cool. Did you know we lived on Maui for almost 4 years? I have a good friend on Kauai. I know you will love it there. Wish I could meet you there with my surfboard and ride some waves!!! Have a great time!
