I feel the winter weight coming on. The joy of family holidays and the stress of a bad economy is a recipe for overeating. I have not been diligent about jogging on dark/cold mornings. This is what I’m gonna look like if I keep cutting big slices of cake!:
Are you overdoing it with the eating? Is it the holiday season/economy or just that it’s cold and dark?
These are some old oil paintings I did. I never paint anymore. I just draw and occassionally add watercolor. Sometimes I feel like painting but I don’t seem to make the time for it.

these are excellent samantha! how long ago did you paint these? you should paint more!
i have difficulty painting in oil. the turpentine gives me massive headaches.
i think we all naturally eat a lot during the cold weather seasons. not only that, there are so many treats laid out in the open for us to eat! i’m not a stress eater though. i don’t eat much when i’m stressed as my stomach is sensitive during those times.
Thanks Yasmine. I painted them about 4 years ago when I was finishing my M.A…
You should try using eco-turpenoid. It’s odorless. You still need to ventilate but it won’t give you headaches.
Sometimes I crave it but I like the immediacy of pen and ink or watercolor…
you know?
You are lucky not to be a stress eater like me!!!!!!
oops…5 years ago.
For me, it’s really that it’s cold & dark. I started a new job this summer that didn’t require such early hours & it was fantastic getting up with the sun & going for a run or to the gym. Now that it’s pitch black? Not so much.
I’m with you sister…..I set the alarm for 5 and then snooze and snooze and snooze it until it’s too late.
