I have watched it grow from the bare bones of stripped back walls, to the room where I can create a culinary masterpiece.How creative my builders are.
Whilst I've watched the building, I in turn have been watched.
The workmen have been the first to see my new paintings and have marvelled at how I created them.
Seeing them work reminds me of art.
We start with the bare bones of a blank sheet of paper - and from there something beautiful grows. Whether we draw or go straight in with paint, whether we paint loose or tight, abstract or realistic... we create. It will be a thing of beauty. Even the paintings we may think - oh, that's nothing - others will see the beauty we sometimes miss.
Just like my kitchen.
Happy creating, whatever you create. Never lose the wonder.

OK, I'm getting jealous now! It is a beautiful kitchen Pat, but I would have to lock it up when I wasn't there to protect it from the wanton oceanic size smearings of chocolate porridge and vast beaches of toast crumbs - the tell-tale signs of certain young people!
ReplyDeleteThe result was excellent, you have a lovely new kitchen, Pat!
ReplyDeleteI am delighted to see how building is much easier in USA than here in Brazil. Our way is still very time consuming,it would take you at least three months to do the same here.I also noticed a message for me in your words, thanks my friend
thanks, Michael - no young 'uns here which is why we have it so open :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you Anamaria - but I am in Essex, England, not in America. And my builder was blistering fast at 2 weeks and one day. We did the painting, so we took a little longer!
I'm glad you caught the truth of the words *hugs*
Wonderful kitchen! I'm also quite jealous. There is a great lesson there: start with the basics! Happy creating (culinary or painting)!
ReplyDeletethanks Judy.

Looks fresh and inviting, Pat. Wish we could have coffee/tea together and enjoy it.

ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to invent that "beam me up Scotty" device :)
Thank you , Sadami. SO glad you could see the truth in it.
