Time to say goodbye to the Retreat

The last day has come and gone. It was so hard saying goodbye to Ann and her beautiful retreat. I learned so much this past week about God, myself and my art. I was blessed to have spent this week with one of my very best friends. We will forever be change by this adventure. Ann, our host, was a truly amazing woman. I found in her a friend for life. She opened her home and her heart to us and I am so thankful. She taught s so many new techniques this week. I have taken classes in the past, but never had time to be alone with what I had learned and be able to play so freely with it.

I am going to miss the morning meditation time on her back porch. The great chats we all would have. Getting into the studio just before sunrise and watching it fall onto my canvas. Cooking together. The evenings when my back and feet hurt so bad but i really really didn't want to stop. The nurturing of Ann as she would sit and talk about the art and God. The most comfortable bed ever! The music. The laughing so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants.

Thank you Ann. You will forever be in my heart.

Here are some pics from the last day.

Enjoy!
