Crunchy Catalyst

Watercolor Tree






After quite the sabbatical, I am back. The word "sabbatical" come from the same word as "sabbath" meaning to take a break from work. Sabbaticals, in my opinion, are for rebuilding and rekindling if you get burnt out. It's a time of remembrance and soaking up. To be filled up after pouring yourself out. 

During my "break from work" I was blessed with a loving husband, a cuddly puppy, and lovely house. Surrounded with people who build me up and inspire me, it is time to return. 

I also discovered Pandora, which when opened, floods my life with new music and inspiration. On this blog I will include some of the artists and songs I have grown to love. They have more soul and more talent than most musicians on the radio. They need to be recognized and loved.  

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to Ronald Jenkees's "Stay Crunchy"  there are no words, and it's all done electronically. It has a good beat and if it doesn't get your foot tappin', then you need to turn up the volume! He is a very encouraging artist and he seems like a very down to earth guy. 

Above, you see a painted tree. I broke out the water colors and decided to play around. I saw something on Pinterest that I wanted to try. It's no Monet, but I love it. It was a blast to create and having fun is primary in art. If you aren't having fun, then what's the point? 

It's a catalyst of more things to come. Sometimes you need a bite to remember what you enjoyed so much. 

Enjoy!
