Here We Go Round In Circles
Many of you enjoyed the post, “I Is For Iglesia,” and especially enjoyed the view from the lighthouse window. Here is another view (Above) from the lighthouse which reflects the recent vortex of energy that swirls around and around my life! Whenever a strong burst of creative energy ‘hits,’ I often say to myself and those close to me, ‘Uh-oh… bad weather’s on its way.’
Uh-oh! Where’s the silicone?
Two inches of rain fell in a short time this past week, and I wasn’t surprised when we lost power for two days because of that weather! I”ve been juggling many projects, and I am online very little. The connection is painfully slow in the daytime, so slow that it is difficult to send emails or to comment on WordPress. The comment swirls round and round, surely in counterclockwise energy, then finally kicks back as a dud. Ditto for many emails. The drop-down comment notification often will not load the comments, or it fails to deliver my reply!
Suffice to say that I am able to read your comments and appreciate all of them, though it has been difficult to say, ‘Thanks!”
Swirls of energy – The Most-Recent I Can Do This Project!
Thanks to all of you who have subscribed through WordPress, Twitter and email!!! This past week while in a cybercafe, I saw where Person #500 subscribed, which honored and sobered me! Wow, I never dreamed when I started this 15 months ago that I would meet so many amazing and strong people through this site. My only regret is that I know so little about many of you, and I hope to find a way to bridge that gap!
Thank you, every single one of you, for your positive feedback and support. The fact that you subscribed is reward enough for me! All creative people listen to their own voices, yet other’s approval works like a gentle rain and perfect climate that nudges a flower to bloom and grow!
Painting For The Joy Of Painting: – Another “I Can Do This” Success!
Presently a garden of new work is incubating and growing. The last new post, thanks to horrid internet connections, did not ‘save,’ and all that remained was the title, “Esta Casa Es Loca.”
Hopefully that one will soon be heading your way, but my paints are literally ‘waiting’ for me to return to “If Fish Could Fly.” I think you will enjoy the direction this painting is going, because many of you played a part in its evolution!
What’s next for “If Fish Could Fly“? Stay tuned!
Grrrrrrrrrracias! See you soon, electricity and internet willing!

I like the photos – and the art work 🙂
thanks so much! the painting is progressing nicely! z
Love the spirals!
Nice photos…the paintings are so colorful just the way I like…did they resolve the passport issue?
hey
i now have new pages in my passport and a new 180-day visa that is ticking down while i await the next ‘tramites’ from the superintendent of companies regarding my art business.
thanks for remembering, and thanks for your continued support!

I love the fish painting, and the vortex in the lighthouse! 🙂
thanks! i’m glad you liked both of those images!!! the fish painting is evolving nicely! z
i don’t no what to say, i luv the write up, it is so lovely. I wish i could write like u.
practice practice practice.. writing is just like painting, we have to produce good and bad but enjoy tapping into that spark and running with it!
thanks so much!

I am looking forward to seeing more of your creative posts. Oh the woes of slow internet. It is vexing to be prevented from world wide communication. When I get cross with the internet, I have to laugh at myself because when I was very young we didn’t even have a telephone in the house and I thought that was just fine. I am not talking about a time in the dark ages, either.
you are so right, and ten years ago in costa rica, i traveled two hours by bus to use the closest cybercafe.
it’s working better tonight – very late but the rain is so hard that i should probably log off!

I’m sorry your connections have been so bad – that’s very frustrating – but I’m not entirely sorry that your casa es loca, because I KNOW everyone needs a bit of loca to be happy, and creative, and real. Congrats on the well deserved 500!
thank you! it’s late at night /early morning, and the connection has been much faster.. it’s slowing down again.. perhaps some people are just beginning their day.
i’d best get some sleep, though it’s hard to abandon a fast connection!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Billy Preston is perfect! Love the fish.
thanks! that was a fun post! z
You deserve the 500 followers, you are so generous with your comments and sharing of your art. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your perseverance with downloads in the face of such poor connections is awesome.
thanks, amiga
it’s very late, and the service is working well, but it’s raining like crazy and i should probably get offline! unfortunately in the daytime, too many people on the service pulls the system down to a snail’s pace.
z
Hope it keeps online till you get finished
Hang in there, Z. We love you and know you will be back!
it’s quite late, and i am amazed at how fast the internet connection is right now. i must be the only person using the service.
it’s ‘straight-down’ raining cats/dogs/burros/frogs/iguanas/fish right now and i should probably shut down this computer and unplug it!

Oh boy! Can I identify with your post! Well, one thing we’ve learned is to spend our time creatively during the down times of the internet, right? It’s taken me 2 days, because of a slow internet, to finally be able to access your posts. lol When our internet signal slows down and takes forever to load, we’ve been playing spider solitaire until it speeds up again. Now, I’m addicted to this crazy card game. We have SKY satellite TV and we heard that within 6 mo. we will be able to have a package deal with satellite internet included. But, then again…it’s Nicaragua. It could be another year before we can get a faster internet connection. Patience..patience.
amiga! i should have another site with tiny images for those who have painfully-slow connections! this morning the internet was fairly fast here, but now even the drop-down bar and the ‘like’ button have trouble loading! i work offline (presently working on a mov of the children painting!) but yes, we switch channels and focus on other tasks. you surely have lots of other loves that keep your life full and rich!
spider solitaire? that’s a new one!
The most beautiful few lines I’ve read today:
“All creative people listen to their own voices, yet other’s approval works like a gentle rain and perfect climate that nudges a flower to bloom and grow!”
Thanks. 🙂
thank you so much! i’m honored that you approve! z
Hope you get your internet connection back up soon Z.
it’s 3 in the morning and working well; when the community awakens, my service will go way down to painfully-slow connections. i am pleased to have fast service now, so i’m taking advantage of pushing the ‘reply” button and watching it respond! z
😀
There are no rules that I know of. We do the best we can with what we have at our disposal. I’m just glad we get to hear from you as much as we do. Rock on, my friend.
Congrats Lisa! 🙂
