Santa Fe!

I’m off to Santa Fe for a few days. (Look! My art was featured in the ads!) It’s the Girls, Inc. Arts & Crafts Fair, August 4-5. I’m in booth G35 (on the plaza at the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, NM).

I’m learning. Things always work out, don’t they? I’m starting to have more and more peace about this. Being in India helped – I saw, in action, people living just for the day, and not worrying about tomorrow. We know this, but it’s hard to put it into action.

I read this passage from “God Calling” a few weeks ago:

“All is well. Wonderful things are happening. Do not limit God at all. He cares and provides.
Uproot self–the channel-blocker. Do not plan ahead, the way will unfold step by step. Leave tomorrow’s burden. Christ is the Great Burden-bearer. You cannot bear His load and He only expects you to carry a little day-share.”

I love the part about the “little day-share”. We do have to act, bear
the responsibility of our lives and actions, but only day-by-day.

For some reason I wanted to share this today.

Feeling Lost

Just a little!

We’re still on the road, in and out of hotel rooms and the car and friend’s homes… all good, but I long for my cat. Also, my e-mail isn’t working, further compounding the lost feeling. Also, I feel in a rut art-wise, and am aching to do something new and different, but find myself unable to “break free” of the usual… how does one think of things to paint, for example?

I’m listening to the new “Over the Rhine” album “The Trumpet Child.” I like it. (Go to www.overtherhine.com and click the record player box.) Wes is watching hotel television; Steve is racing.

Today I tried to get Wes (well, me, too) the new Harry Potter book but we couldn’t find a bookstore!!! Today’s only excursion!

If you need to contact me for any reason, try carlasonheim@yahoo.com.

Postnote: Katherine Dunn wrote a post about artist Ann Broadaway… a very wonderful painter…

Still Traveling… how about you?

Now I’m in Milwaukee! Hope to be home and back to work and regular life soon.

If you’re ever in St. Louis, you must visit the City Museum!

Where have YOU gone this summer?

This is a photo taken a few days before I left India. “Pinki” is sitting on my lap, and my hands had been henna-painted the night before by some of the older girls. Do I look happy? I was.

I’m also happy to be home. I really missed Steve, and of course Wes. (Wes had grown at least an inch and five pounds in my absense! He turned 12 last Monday, and we celebrated with neighborhood friends, water guns and go-carts.)

I’ll slowly add more photos from India as I have the time… now I’m getting ready to leave again for Chicago for ten days… a last-minute trip. Steve will be racing his bicycle, and I will be visiting old friends and drumming up work possibilities. (I will also try to paint girls and fill etsy orders from the road. Five new journals on etsy later today!)
