Instead, i have come up with another plan to escape. If things work out as i hope, i will be leaving my house & life for a year and moving North of 60... to Yellowknife, NWT, Canada. To live with the Auroroa Borealis, and hopefully paint it, and all the other northern delights! The plan is to move up there next June.
I'm getting older. Both my mother's parents died in their mid-50's of brain aneurysms. If things like that skip generations, it might be my turn very soon! I need to get on the road! To see the world! I really need that grand adventure... now!
In the meantime, i will slowly de-junk & get this house ready for my partner to live & entertain in. And i will learn to paint with gouache. I usually use acrylics (and occasionally watercolour), but gouache is the perfect travel paint, i think. It can give the impression of acrylics, without carrying paint tubes or bottles that airlines will not let you bring (or will freeze in the belly of the plane). But i'm getting ahead of myself. Cleaning up this house is first.
