Dear Friends – Art Rat is taking a painting break – not a break from my art but a creative retreat into my art. For two weeks I will be involved in a painting intensive workshop. I will not be posting during this time but, in a limited way, may be able to visit and comment on your blogs. Interacting with you all has become a valued part of my daily life and I will miss this; however, I need this break and welcome the challenges and new ways of seeing it will bring into my creative life. So, hasta luego, mis amigos….

I too look forward to the results – always a mystery for me what emerges from a period of intense work – thank you…

You’re very sweet, thank you Helen. I know I will enjoy and be enriched, and I won’t drown – I know these waters well…
Have a great time.
I will Tom and thank you…
It would not have to be this way if you opted for 48 hour days like I have.
You’re such a worker bee Carl! – where can one get those 48 hour days anyway, or are they only available in America? Thanks for sending me off with a laugh…
I long for a retreat. Enjoy some time for me.
Your time will come Carl, meanwhile I will enjoy some time for you – Cheers!
Happy swimming in the river of creativity. Is it flowing through your studio or elsewhere?
Cheers John – the ‘workshop’ flows between a downtown studio and my home studio – intense work in a group downtown and solo resolving of that work at home…
total immersion! go well. thanks for letting us know clinock.
Go for it and enjoy. Don’t worry about the blogging. can’t wait to see what ya did/will do.

Enjoy the ‘break’.
Thank you, I’m already into it…
It must be done.
Of course, you are right, done it must be – but only because it came my way at a time that it was needed – “must” makes me think of ancient, damp and cobwebbed basements…
Enjoy! Check in when you return.
Thank you, and of course I will be back on-line in a fortnight or so…
Very much look forward to seeing what magic emerges, best wishes,robert
Ah that ancient and elusive magic – thank you for your wishes Robert…
enjoy! sounds like it’s going to be an amazing break away ! see you back in a few weeks
Thanks Isabella, the workshop is challenging and exhausting but I’m loving it…

Always good to take a break from blogging from time to time. Enjoy your painting time and your workshop!
Thank you Val…
