Black on Grey on White

Time and I have never gotten on! In my youth, I took it for granted, ignored it and, worst of all, wasted it. Now, with a few more ounces of wisdom in my pocket, I respect it, treasure it and constantly try to hoax it into hang-out with me a little longer! To no avail! It's pay back time. Time now ignores me and, I'm convinced, takes me for granted! This strained relationship has me running constantly in mad square circles. Circles that end up leaving me stranded, brain spinning, arms flapping in a "in-between" timezone which always always ends being the past....! So as of now and for the next few weeks, I'm going to stop running and chasing a "thing" that I can never keep up with. Deep breaths will be inhaled, heart-beats felt, eyes opened and the sight of life in slow motion caught and memorised. I'm taking a relaxed step out of my mad square circles. I'm off on a wee summer break. p.s: If this has struck a cord and you know what I mean: wish...

We saw Zig Zag. Do you remember Zig Zag ? She was my muse for my foal series . Fancy Free, Ciao & Footloose Pencil on Paper Sheona Hamilton-Grant. All rights reserved. Four years have passed and the mad frolics of a three day old foal have disappeared into sweet oblivion (if you disregard re-living them through a few of my scribbles.) Four years down the road field my Ladies were greeted by a little gentle dark brown mare with big kind eyes. There is still a spark of mischief to be found (if you look carefully) but incomparable to our crisp spring morning gallivant where legs and tails switched and pointed in all sorts gravity defying positions. (Zig Zag is on the left) We can confirm after sandy nosed nuzzles and soft whispers, Zig Zag is all grown-up and very much a soave and poised lady.

Oslo is mourning. Horror has hit its core. The ripples spreading well beyond any physical border. To my friends out there. Thinking of you.

At this end, Extra curricula activities are in full swing just like "Tarzan" (above) and his crew. Studio activities remain very active and strong. However time is sticking it's tongue out (once again). Various blog posts are in the making and have taken a comfy back seat. They will come to light (promise) as soon as, well, time smiles and says.... please?
