I don't want much, but I do so like
.a stack of textured old paper that enjoys inks as much as paints.
.my trusty tin with watercolour pans, the old ones much beloved, too.
.nibbled on HB pencils and Indian inks as black as midnight.
.the sound of silence.
I don't need much either, but my home is incomplete without
.my bunch of bouncy noisy crazy children.
.make-up home made cakes after teenager dramas.
.ongoing giggles and rummicub games.
.the luxury of uninterrupted sleep.
.the sound of breathing.
.the silence that never is.
And for all I wish
A soon to arrive sunny sparkly Summer*

I really like this thoughtful post.
ReplyDeleteI like to have a certain amount of silence each day. Starting my morning off with silence is a true luxury when you have a houseful of children.

Thank you Rose. Silence is such a thing of beauty, isn't it.
DeleteWhat a lovely list! A sunshine post if ever I read one.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue! Wishing you a bright day.
DeleteAnother gorgeous drawing/painting! The silence that never is...giggles...teenagers. I can relate with 8 children at home, 4 of them teenagers....homeschooling.
ReplyDeleteWow! I only have five children, two teening, one pre-teening and two noisy 8 year olds twin. Home schooling, too. Life is certainly full for us :)
DeleteWe also have twins! Identical 15 year old girls. Full indeed but wonderful too!

DeleteAs the snow continues to fall, loading spruce branches (once again) I envision a Season Switch...
ReplyDeleteWinter when I am feeling quiet.
Summer when driving S and V to robot competitions at the university.
Fall when I want to camp in the mountains.
And Spring when I need hope.

Such a wondrous journey is this.
DeleteSeasons weaving into one another.
Connecting us under this blanket of
Ceaseless night time x
A quilt. Sounds lovely.

Wonderful drawings and words.
ReplyDeleteI so know what you mean about old paper, inks, paints and pencils.
cheers, parsnip
Thank you! I do so love to mess about with papers. There is a certain joy in creating, that can not be found elsewhere.
DeleteBeautiful painting, wonderful words!
ReplyDeleteUninterrupted sleep and silcence will be a wonder of beauty.
