Once again I have been in a slight artistic slump. I haven’t truly painted in almost 2 months …. until yesterday.
These days stress seems to effect me differently and painting cannot seem to help me travel through those periods like they used to. Now that I have come out the other end of the ‘stress tunnel’ ….look out world!
Of all places, I ended up in a Starbucks coffee house yesterday with my young son. As he was sitting there eating his granola & yoghurt while drinking his green tea matcha white hot chocolate (I know… where did this healthy kid come from. He has always made these types of choices. Yeah!) , I was taking in the varied clientelle and actually feeling the creative juices flowing withing the coffee house. I think I need to venture out to the coffee house more often like I used to.
I came home feeling I just had to do something, but my sketchbook journal was not the answer. So yesterday I revamped my black rusty mailbox that has been screaming at me since we moved here last July. I hope you like her transformation!
Keep smiling and creating!

The mailbox suits you, Nicci. Of course, it matches! Hope you have found your muse. It isn’t much fun when the doldrums set in, is it? xoxo
Nice – Love the transformation. I often get that inspired feeling in coffee shops.
