FYI While I watch landscape artist of the year tonight at Dunnottar castle. I have been working on mine. I wasn’t going to show anything until it’s finished, but tuning into the telly tonight I felt an urge! 😆
You know it’ll end up nothing like this don’t you 🤣🤣🤣 it already looks nothing like this (older photo)
I’ll be posting nothing more till it’s finished. There’s A LOT of work to do 😉

What can I say…I’ve struggled a lot emotionally since dad died. Surprisingly more so than with mums passing.
By the time we were in November I realised that WVLA was just going to have to wait, and I needed to surrender myself on focusing my energy on my own internal healing. For my husband and my children, I needed to rebuild myself and be stronger. This whole year has been a complete whirlwind of emotions, and as much as I wanted to get the castle painting finished, I was drained to the gunnels. Absolutely drained. Sitting still has not been an option for my grieving process. I just couldn’t contemplate that thought. Too hard.

The print on the second page is from a wonderful artist I found recently called
She has a unique talent and such a special gift. The painting is my nephew in Canada, his partner and their two children Jude and Flora. Still grieving their own sad loss of wee Jude who passed away with cancer, the little boy in the painting 🧡❤️‍🩹 and Ofcourse my losses are their losses too.

2024 is around the corner. It’s my happy place. Where I step into the light and I can feel a kind of new me. Acceptance, Love, and God willing stability. Consistency, of the above 🙏

So please let me wish you all a wonderful Christmas and so so much happiness and love and health for 2024.
I’ll see you all in the new Year ❤️💛💕💚🧡💜💙🌈🤸‍♀️

Remember to look out for Santa on his trike on Christmas Day to any of you in stonehaven. He’s doing well after his strokes 🎅🏻😅😉 and You never know. Mrs Claus may just join him this year. We’ll see how the old aches and pains go on the day.
So much love. Have a wonderful wonderful time, and love each other with everything you’ve got. With gusto 💪♥️
Merry Christmas everyone ######x

In other news.
We’ve been knocking through our old fireplace to install a wood burner and I found the old wallpaper underneath.
So this little masterpiece will be framed and placed on the wall keeping a little pretty piece of our homes history alive ♥️

I’ve been doing little projects round the garden that have been needing done for years actually, but just to keep myself busy and use as a distraction. It’s working, but I decided that when this rain stopped pi***ng down I’d get painting again outside (yes my art room still needs organising!) The rain has not stopped pi***ng down and it’s really starting to p**s me off! Pun intended!
Grief is a weirdo. One day I think I’m surfing it, and the next I’m face first in the dirt and I can’t get up! One day at a time here 🥹

By now I should have been sharing with you so much new work 🎨
In February joiner fell off a ladder at work. He dislocated2 toes and broke another two on the same foot. 6 weeks later they hadn’t healed and needed an operation to fix them properly. By now we’re 10 weeks on and at the end of April. I’d been so busy looking after him working was impossible, my own health problems dominating what little free time I had. Finally joiner getting back to work, within 10 days he had a mini stroke, 3 days later he had another mini stroke, 2 days later my mum passed away 💔

Here we are.
Mums funeral is on Wednesday next week. Joiner is going through several tests, God willing getting him back on track.
Life has thrown some heavy challenges and it’s been a tough year so far.
All I can say is my head is a whirlwind of emotions. A broken heart with a million tears at the loss of my mum.
My creative heart has so much to colour, so much to show the world. So much truth to bear with a brush and a canvas.
When my world has calmed and my peace has resumed. Those bare canvases I look at each day in my art room will feel the touch of my brushes again. Until then, please bear with me, while time mends the broken pieces of my heart at the loss of my wee mammy, and while we get the joiner back up and running again into the grumpy bu**er I love so much. Paula 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜💔🌈
