As a mom, I don't usually have the time to do a little something for myself, but since elementary school is back in session I have actually been going a little STIR-CRAZY! So I started developing this itch... this every-growing, oh-so-aggravating, impatient itch. I needed to CREATE. My classes start next week, and I know that will provide me the outlet I crave; however, I just couldn't wait any longer. I did not care where it was going... I just NEEDED to collide paint with canvas in a cascade of colors which would allow me to live and let live. Live through paint, brush, and stroke. Live through each drip; each swirling array of motion. Let the canvas become alive . . . These are a few of the progression photos thus far. Continue to check my Gallery for the finished product!

...The New Year's ball, that is.
I have neglected my followers; however few you may be, you are all amazing and deserve better than that. In honor of resolutions, one of mine is to start writing. (I would say start writing MORE, but let's face it, I never wrote a single line of text.) So I have decided to start out with a BANG. I need to begin organizing my thoughts, my experiences, my observations, and record them. I HAVE GOT to get up on the whole social media kick, and I mean ALL OF IT! I need to understand what my work will become, and where I am going.... where I even want to go. As an artist, I want, NEED to create MORE. I sit at my desk, staring at this monitor while contemplating the blank, unfinished canvas behind me; then I realize, life is one large unfinished canvas always behind me, pushing me to fill it with meaning and purpose. I could definitely go all philosophical right now... but let's not go that deep! So back to the blank canvas... What do I want to do with this canvas? -create a landscape Do I like landscapes? -absolutely not Then why am I doing it? -because I guess I feel as though I must. I must do it as a commission, but it is also important that I expand my subject matter. I often run into this issue... no matter the image, I always find a way to put a part of myself into it and incorporate my style, but sometimes I wonder... when will it be OK to say no?? I do not wish to reject any of you, but I can't look at this as just a job. I need to find "me" somewhere in there, and seek out who I am as an artist.
