A Welcome Distraction

Can't believe I'm saying this 

but think I need a break from Chocolate

pacing myself might be a prudent move

as Chocolate Day is still two weeks away

and I want to be able to enjoy the chocolate season

in its full and magnificent sugar haze inducing glory

plus I managed to demolish a bunny

and several small eggs

after painting them the other day

and as I have a major allergy to exercise

it may be best if I limit my intake

I tried the whole park the car a bit further away

at the grocery shop this morning

thinking I could sneak up on some activity

but even I can't maintain the delusion that that is enough to warrant

an egg fest

so I plan to be strong, or at the very least strong ... ish

So no more eating of eggs prior to egg Sunday

and I will virtuously turn my head away from temptation

and return from the grocery shop with no rabbits, eggs or chocolates

and more than anything I will not paint any more chocolate products

This is the most important because to paint them

they must sit on my desk

and then they start their siren call

and everyone knows that once the call starts it must be heeded

I don't want them to think I don't love them after all...

soooo

no chocolate themed drawing here today

no way 

I am turning over a new leaf...

or maybe petal might be more accurate

as I seem to have edited out the leaves

and 

I have drawn and painted some flowers onto a card

from a photo 

taken by Sophia over at 

Blue Chair Illustrations

and as it has provided me with the distraction

needed to get back on the chocolate wagon

 it only seems fitting that I link it up with Sunday Sketches..xx

update two hours later... one small egg gone

 distraction failed miserably

I curse you shiny pretty eggs glittering 

so sweetly in the light of the fridge....
