I hope so! Thanks for watching :)

[@joaniecahill339]

Wow, it's gorgeous! I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. Santa Cruz and the Oregon coast are two of my favorite places. I know they'll make your soul peaceful. Enjoy!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Yes, they will. I am so looking forward to a short period of peace.

[@Miastrong930]

Thanks for sharing this Shel. It's really well done and I love its moodiness and atmosphere. Sometimes our best art comes through when we least expect it. Look after yourself and have a great trip x

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@JoanneOwens1943]

Enjoy your road trip. Kite flying in Lincoln, OR is a site to experience or the dunes in Florence. Hope you feel better 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

It will be fun :) Thanks for watching!

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

Haven't seen any videos lately, so I hope you are okay and on your trip enjoying life. Find your joy, Shel. It is hard to do at times. I am using that phrase "find your joy" as a mantra these days....

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Hi Susan . Nope no videos. My best person is having a health crisis and is existing in the hospital. So that is where I am too.

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

@@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things get better soon.

[@christineingram55]

Love this one Shel it’s very atmospheric , more like an evening with the full moon making the sails glow 🥰

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thanks so much 😊

[@maramakesjournals2319]

This is very nice! It helped me think thru a mixed media challenge on Arteo Mixed Media Art. A page I made looked too plain. You just showed me how to add movement to the page within the rules. I am having trouble being too literal. Your sail boat scene is lovely and not literal. It just appeared from your journal page. Please get help for your dark mood. There are too many things that can go wrong inside of us. Ask your health care provider for a tune-up: vitamin D, thyroid, unwanted Rx effects, peri-menopause. I sorta crashed after cancer treatment was over. I thought another shoe was gonna fall. An oncology psychiatrist got me back to mental health with a medical tune-up. Don’t be afraid of anti-depressants. My daughter’s nearing the end of peri-menopause and finally gave in. An anti-depressant is now helping her sleep at night and is taking the edge off during the day. Good luck to you, sweet lady. You give me a lot of pleasure. ☮️

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you Mara. I may give in and go get some help. I am stubborn and proud.

[@maramakesjournals2319]

@@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio I was a nurse on an in-patient psych unit. A psychiatrist told me that the longer depression goes untreated, the harder it is to treat. It’s something I never forgot. 💕

[@vannabest8645]

I also cannot get out of bed lately. The only obligation I am still honoring is my weekly open ceramic/clay studio at my local art center. My pieces have all been a bit dark themed unintentionally, (I tried making a sheep bauble tree ornament and it ended up being a satanic sheep somehow) or I end up spending the 3 hours just sitting there zoning out staring at a ball if clay. Either way I consider it an accomplishment because I was able to actually make it there and be present. I hope your trip helps your health, even if just for a moment. Be patient with yourself ❤️ it’s okay to not be okay. And it’s okay to step aside from KZbin responsibilities too if that helps your healing. Do what’s best for you!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Thank you Vanna :) A satanic sheep sounds very interesting! I used to take a ceramics class... I should look into that again.

[@arteriasartsinteriordecor4872]

Hey, Shel! Are you ok? Hoping to see you again soon. Sending hugs!

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Hi :) I am OK, but a family member is not. They came home yesterday after 21 days in the hospital. I have been there so have not had a chance to make art or videos at all. Now recovery, more doctors, and learning to live as best we can. Hopefully I can do some art journaling soon!

​@@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio really sorry to hear that. Caring for a sick person is always hard. Take your time, we will wait. Make sure to take care of yourself. Sending hugs.🤗🤗😓

[@sagepremoe1565]

Not being able to get out of bed sounds like depression. Do you find art to help with that or is it JUST now an obligation because you have the live stream? For a year or so I found my art to be enlivening but lately I've taken a break from it, just haven't felt like do any.

[@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio]

Yes, art does help. Sometimes things in life are just too much though. Thanks for watching!
