Being playful, and using my intuition with watercolour paints is teaching me so much and giving me more confidence to keep going! Just as my drawings started with an animated version of Molly, the main character in my novel back in March 2023.
This is the eighth week in one location, somethings we have not done for almost a year! It is Winter Solstice here in the Rangitikei, New Zealand and already the angel of the sun has begun to shift. The change in point of sunrise here is noticeable each morning.
Sunrise and sunset are my magic moments of the day, reminding me to look for the magic in the day and to give thanks as the sun trades places with the stars. The moon last night was like a huge white bowl in the sky – rain coming.
