Home

 

Home means a lot of things, my house is my home, my sanctuary.  However I have a real pull to the area where I spent my childhood and which still is my spiritual home.  I grew up mainly in small contry towns.    I had a blessed childhood roaming the bush and the valleys and riding with my brother and sister along little country roads.  When I was living in Europe, I would get very homesick for the bush and ocean, and when it got to the point of not being able to see crashing waves on TV without bursting into tears, I knew it was time to return.  While I don’t live near my childhood home I know it is within reach.

I had started this water colour in my art journal a while ago and decided to finish it for this challenge.  I was so pleased with it that I couldn’t bear to write or add embellishments, so I scanned it and added them in Photoshop!

I am entering this in Susi’s Art-Journal Journey's monthly challenge.  The prompt this month is ‘home’ of course!
