DO YOU NEED TO ADJUST YOUR ATTITUDE?

This is a blog about my creative interests.  I admit it....like a lot of you I have hundreds of interests that keep me entertained and busy.  We also have a travel blog devoted to our RV adventures for the past 8 years), but this blog will be about my art projects, my creative side and ideas that I want and need to explore.  Our lifestyle of adventuring into the unknown usually gives us ample time to explore different communities in our beautiful country, and what they offer - whether it is cultural, historical or just plain ridiculous.  Sometimes a good sense of humor is very therapeutic (and necessary) in this lifestyle.

Coming to a town near you - got to love it!

We see lots of informative signs!

Yes, sometimes, we need to adjust our attitude.  Eight years ago, my husband and I started out on an adventure of travelling full time in our 40' diesel pusher motorhome.

When we get to our winter domicile in central Florida I offer an art class called ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT for interested people who stay at our resort, whether they are here one night or six months at a time.  These classes have been offered since 2009.

I usually offer one or two painting classes each month, and it gives us an opportunity to make new friends as well as get in touch with our inner artist/creative person.  Although we never considered ourselves snowbirds, since we are both from northern Florida, we stay at Florida Grande Motor Coach Resort in Webster, FL at least six months, arriving in October or November and leaving around Mother's Day.

This class offered a canvas which was made into a pillow top.

There are excellent facilities to paint at Florida Grande, and when we leave I miss my frequent creative binges.  To facilitate my craft binging there are storage areas in the back of our tow car filled with project supplies and that spills over to the storage bays underneath the coach.  After leaving I sometimes paint murals in offices, teach jewelry making, gather materials for the next painting classes, talk to other artists and creative people.  I call it my six month shopping trip..and I guess it is.

I feel fortunate to know this is a part of ME....as in my "essence", and I feel blessed to be able to enjoy this time.  I enjoy the creative process, start to finish. I am grateful for the opportunity to teach friends who are very proud of completed projects, and at the same time get to know new friends from all over the world.

This is my new blog and I look forward to hearing comments from you and perhaps meeting up with you on the road.  God bless you and yours.
