Adventure Art Injury Update 🐢🌸 as it turns out, I injured my spine and am unsure when I'll be back at 100%. This is a massive blow! It is so hard to move at my normal pace. I still hope to have a video up for y'all at the end of the month about my desire for Discord to get us closer to the "forum culture" of the old internet.
BUT, I wanted to share a positive update despite the physical struggles. Yesterday my partner wheeled out all of my paint supplies, a camping chair, and snacks to one of my favorite spring trailheads so I could paint the California Poppies in Plein Air. Took quite a few breaks sitting in my camping chair, but I am so happy with how these turned out.
Feeling so much joy being able to find a way to spend slow, gentle time in nature. Take this post as a sign to be incredibly gentle to yourself this week, get outside if you can, and remember that human-made crafts are such an important thing to make us feel joy and access balance in these wacky times.
Final note, I have been making adjustments and updates to my website between PT sessions, so feel free to poke around here: melmitchelljackson.com/
