Description watercolor 9x12
Was thinking about my friends who live far away and I haven't seen in awhile when I started to paint today and this came to mind.

Thanks very much Jo!
It's funny what will inspire
a painting.I do miss my friends
even though we stay in touch,they are
too far away to hang out with.

Maybe in the summer I'll be able to go
it'll be a lot nicer to walk on the beach
by the ocean too.The rainy season will be
finished by then.

That sounds really nice
I can't wait til it gets warmer again, I'm not a fan of the cold, and because I'm on the coast, only a few minutes from the North Sea, it gets pretty darn windy here! XD

I'm not a fan of the cold either.The snow looks
pretty but I'm already hoping for spring
The wind off the North Sea has got to be chilly. Brrrr!!
The kind of cold that seems to bite right into you
no matter how many layers of clothes you wear.I feel chilly
just thinking about that *goes and stands by the fireplace*

place and just in my head I figured why not
pink

simplelines In reply to Rhed-Dawg [2008-12-18 16:20:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Evey It does have a kind of
feel like that.With Christmas coming I
guess I'm feeling a little restless and
thinking about friends and family that live
too far away to see.I got a few letters
and Christmas cards in the mail made me
kind of melancholy and missing people.I wish
for one day it was possible to put all the
people I care about in one place.Well it would
be a hell of a party anyway Christmas
is always a mix of happy and sad for me.I don't
care about gifts,Christmas for me is about
spending time with people you care about.

Rhed-Dawg In reply to simplelines [2008-12-19 15:32:05 +0000 UTC]

I can totally understand that, my family is still feuding,so even the ones that live close to each other are not all getting together, foolish of them.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

simplelines In reply to Rhed-Dawg [2008-12-19 15:50:30 +0000 UTC]

Still feuding! So much wasted energy.
I couldn't handle being mad that long.I'd rather
just talk it out until everything was settled.
I wouldn't want my days to be clouded with chaos like
that,it has to effect other things in their life.
How can you be happy if your angry all the time?
They are missing out on great times and at Christmas
you'd think they'd bury the hatchet.If something,god
forbid, were to happen to any of them,they never get
the chance to fix things and they'd be left with that
anger and guilt.They can't get back time passed.Foolish!

Rhed-Dawg In reply to simplelines [2008-12-21 15:04:09 +0000 UTC]

they are all telling their version of the truth, I'm starting to record phone conversations because they can't keep it all straight!

simplelines In reply to Rhed-Dawg [2008-12-21 19:32:21 +0000 UTC]

I think they just like the chaos
and drama.They seem to keep feeding it rather
than trying to fix things
Good idea to record the conversations.Keeps
everything straight when they try to change
their stories.Maybe it would make an interesting
Christmas gift to send them copies and they
could hear how they all sound.
