In 2006 while I was in South Africa, I discovered that I love to paint. Aurene Wilford gave me my first lessons. I had never felt so relaxed before. I loved the smell of the paints and the oil and the turpentine, and most of all I loved the feeling of active artistic expression. So last Christmas I asked for a oil paint set, and since then I've been working on a small painting. The surprising discovery is that I'm good! Not a Van Gogh, but I'm more pleased with my work than I ever thought I would be. Once this painting is done, I'll be sure to post a picture.
Today's surprise was an overpriced treat at the grocery store-- chocolate chai rice milk!! Such a sarah-pleasing combination I feel like they made it just for me!
