Security canvas

You just don't realise the various hazards: gusty erratic wind; people walking, moving, gesturing; umbrellas held at awkward angles; treacherous wet leaves; polluting emissions from vehicles...

Walking home with my new painting was quite the stress rollercoaster.

But it's safe, and all beautiful. Happy sigh.

Well, the Bank Holiday weekend zipped by. Babysitting on Sunday, and the rest was a mix of home-hunting, dharma talks, yoga, shopping, sunshiney walks and a seasonal horror movie or two.

PS - I guest-blogged on visitlondon: one of those ambling conversations over the summer that a friend listened to with a gleam in her eye before saying 'Can you write that down for me?' :-)

At first glance , I read "yoga shopping" and was a little sad at the thought of a a Mind & Spirit "marketing event" , but as is so often the case with these blogs,taking the time to read all of the words is rewarding. And on the subject of words and paintings, I was reminded of this quote from Leonardo da Vinci "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen" Enjoy.

Yoga shopping is real. Often marketed as one of those "lifestyle" buys: all zen peace inner fulfillment - yours for four easy payments of...

Sometimes though, it's just reasonable stuff to wear while yoga-ing. Reasonable, and made from scrumptiously lovely quality cotton :-)
