The Lowens Haus got hit with a round of colds this week. The drippy nose, constant cough sometimes accompanied by a fever, up several times during the night kind of colds. Bleh.
I'm sure it won't come as a big shock that I haven't been painting much. I just don't work very well when I'm sleep deprived. There would have been a time where seeing my unfinished work just sitting there would have left me restless, but I've started to enjoy just going into my studio to look at my work, the tubes of paint lying where I left them last and my houseplants bathed in nice northern light.
The weather is just cool enough that a bowl of warm soup still sounds like the best thing after a day of using copious amounts of hand sanitizer. For this meal I made
Curried Lentil Soup by the Nourished Kitchen (skip the pre-soak and cook lentils in soup)
Balsamic Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts (hold the bacon to make this meal vegan)
with roasted craisins and sunflower seeds to top it off.
I had originally planned on recording on Periscope for my first time on Saturday but think that will be just too much for me. Fingers crossed that everyone gets better this weekend!!
If you want to go ahead and follow me in anticipation of my fist broadcast my handle is @rachelloewens.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
