Enough

I had the great honor of meeting Artist Cate Anevski

at last years Holiday Crafty wonderland Extravaganza in Portland, OR

(which btw is this coming Sunday at the Oregon Convention Center-

You will find myself, Cate and 198 other amazingly talented artisans

from the North West at this years event.

If you call Portland home I would HIGHLY recommend making a day of it!)

Anywho~ Cate and I have become quite good friends and I am a BIG fan of her artwork.

Each piece has a unique spirit all it's own.

My first impression of this watercolor and ink piece entitled Enough

was that the poor thing had a terribly cold or flu

but it's true meaning is far more personal

as Cate shared that she did this piece right after her beloved kitty cat passed away

and in midst of moving to Portland from St Louis.

She described in detail how overwhelming it was to trust

that they were making the right decision.

This piece represents for Cate a major turning point in her life

and while it wasn't easy

Cate and her boyfriend are so happy they followed their hearts.

While we might not be facing such drastic unknowns

the holiday season can be truly overwhelming

remind yourself that you can only give so much of yourself

and find a moment or two to just relax and enjoy some eggnog.
