Another year is almost over.  Wanted to take a moment to say thank you to anyone who visits me here.  Small fish in a big pond of creative people.  I appreciate your support.

I wanted to mention that I do sell my paintings, if people are interested.  If you see a painting that speaks to you please reach out.  You can contact me on facebook or via e-mail.

Hope you are well.

Seriously this has been a crazy year already and it feels like it just started.  

I am struggling to get myself inspired again.  I want to paint again.  I want to jump back into photography again.  But I am struggling.  Has anyone else ever had this struggle??

I jumped into my life as an artist at a time in my life that was... well... messy.  Bad things ending, good things beginning, moving out, starting over... lots of changes.  The art came easy then.  I was all in my feelings and had a lot to let out.  I'm a lot happier now.  I have let go of a lot of the feelings I had been struggling with and hanging onto.  I have found love.  I have found joy.  And while life isn't perfect it is pretty damn good.  So I am struggling to find the inspiration without the pain.  

So I am going to be working on trying to respark my inspiration, working on updating the website more often.  I need to get my sh*t together so to speak.

Man... So I have 2 online classes that I paid for.  I have been downloading all the files, so I have them.  I have not done one single lesson so far.  I have been creatively lazy for so long I am not even sure where to begin.  #ouch #hazardsofbeinganartist #lazygirl 

At least thinking about it is making me feel creative.  That has to be a start, right?  lol

Going to be trying to push through some stuff.  Get back on track with site updates.  Artist updates.  Arty stuff.  It will be a process, not a quick one I am sure.  Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again.  

That is a little sad.  My last blog post was talking about my plans for 2017.  I had hopes and aspirations.  But alas they didn't seem to play out.  

And it isn't something bad that has kept me from doing art.  Quite the opposite as a matter of fact.  I have been living my life..  And I am having a hard time making time for doing art.  So much of my art is emotionally created.  I think I have just found myself a little... emotionally exhausted.  So I took a breather.  

​I'm going to make an effort to make time.  I still have hope.

I'm not sure how this happened but it is December.  That means it is almost 2017.  I haven't done a lot of things I had hoped to get done this year.  I am going to work on making 2017 a more productive year.

Goals for 2017 (art related):

• Keep up to date with 2017 Lifebook class
• Take pictures of art for sale (Etsy/Facebook)
• Sell a painting (at least one)
• Look into putting art on other things (pillows, mugs, etc).  Just an idea.
• Update the website every 3 months (at least)
• Schdule and post from art social media pages

There's a good place to start.  I'm not an artist to get wealthy, but I have so much art created and I can't hang it all up.  And if I want to keep creating, I need to make some room.  

Hope you'll join me for the new year ahead.  If you see a painting you're intersted in give me a shout, via email.

​Thanks for stopping by.

I have been painting again, finally.  It has been a long time.  Sometimes things need to fall apart... before it can fall back together.  I'm workin' on it.  Have been working on my #Lifebook2016 lessons.  Need to download the lessons from #LetsFaceIt2016 and #EverAfter2016 so that I can eventually work on those too.  Not sure what made me feel like I should do 3 big art classes.  But... it will keep me busy, that's for sure.  

Hopefully will have some new art to post soon.  I'm in the process of making my art available for sale.  I do have 2 pieces available right now, on Etsy.  Here is the link.  Feel free to check it out.  Will be adding more pieces very soon. 

​Much love!

So I'm 2 months into my new place.  Haven't done a super lot of painting or arty stuff.  Which I am meaning to change.  Hoping, with this long holiday weekend that I will be able to get off my lazy butt and get some art done.  Along with working on an update for the site as a whole.  

Thanks for stopping by.
