When i was at school i did my gcse on georgia O'keef.
I drew a huge iris with black dots too and remember my teacher encouraging me telling me it was college level what i was producing.
Sometimes i feel we are too young to be made to be serious. Like where are my teachers now, why do we have so many when we are so young... And badically wnat to play and enjoy life. I have always had good feed back for my art throughout being a child and its the one thing ive always felt confident in.
I remember the first time i realised i was good at art, in primary school in a low year we all sat drawing in pencil a life drawing of a plant and my teacher made a bee line for my detailed drawing. Times when we encourage children like this stick with them theoughout life. Why didnt more teachers encourage me this way, or maybe they did just enough. I was also encouraged in english, i remember though, once we had to make a story, in primary school about smugglers, and i remember i made up a whole story abou these creatures. Because i hadnt listened to the teacher and thought that a smuggler was a made up thing. The teacher picked me and i read it to the class. Haha ... We were to young to be fed so much stuff. Imagine if we was only fed what we was interested in imagine if had grown up with art and stories, poetry, georaphy, and shown all the kinds of art and left to my own devices- instead of only descovering pottery and printing in my 20s.
This is one of the many reasons why i home school/ unschool/ world school. 🙏🏼

I have one of those days, i awoke and wrote a list of healings and dreams for a session with. Healer i have booked for tonight. We have done a swap i did her some art for her friends in the uk who are new mothers and she is doing me a one on one session, 6hrs apart. Im so glad I followed my call to contact her and do this energy exchange. I am so ready for all i have called in.
I then worked on a Goddess flow peice as a token of deep love for 2 people and then we went for walk in our local park, this is becoming a routine recently. We love our local park 🌸
Dont forget to nurture yourself and your family, get outside to the wild nature.
