Ezis

In other words, I am slightly homesick. I miss waking up with a curious bird knocking on my window and kitty snoring cuddled at my feet. Sitting by the round table with a cup of mud in my hand and hearing granny’s radio blasting somewhere outside the house where she is working away gardening. I miss our conversations about why we are here, the universe and beyond and occasionally how nothing really matters. Hugs and being silly together. I miss turning a landfill into a beautiful garden full of green and healthy plants and soil on my fingertips. Walking by the lake surrounded by forest and feeling the peaceful feeling of belonging. Soon I’m going home!

Listening to Instrumenti and their deeply layered lyrics brought me all the feels of home and the spark to be creative and paint this tiny, spiky critter on 20 x 30 cm canvas using tempera colors this time. I find working with tempera colors a lot more enjoyable than the fast drying, unforgiving acrylics. At least for now as I still haven’t quite figured out the latter.
