Do you ever . . . . ?



Do you ever just feel like stopping painting? or whatever you love to do? Are you ever just burned out for a minute, or a couple of days? You just feel like there is nothing left to create inside your head. Nothing left to spill out on the paper? I have felt like this on and off. Then it happens. An idea, or an inspiration comes from seeing other people out there in cyber land. I see something in nature. I hear something in my head or see something outside myself and I slip right back into the ease of painting. I have to go paint. I keep doing it. I can't stop. It is like a habit - biting your fingernails, holding your blanky (as a baby) - you just can't stop. And there I am again, painting, drawing, imagining what the next work of art will be. It is an amazing journey. It holds twists and turns in the road, but the views are awesome and the path is never boring!

New Ebay listings . . . It's about time!




I am so grateful to be able to walk downstairs to my new studio to paint and create! Things seem to be getting back to normal for me and I have so much to be thankful for!

For my man

Daylight ebbing,
Night falling,
Kids calling,
Dinner settling,
Air crisp and colder
Sunrise gone
Night is long
But still you hold me,
believe in me
Like the sun that rises,
You are there.

Soo, I am back to work


After the whole hospital stay and recovery (which is still in effect I guess) I am going back to work tomorrow.

A couple days before my accident, my husband and I arranged all my art stuff in one room downstairs with two lovely windows to let in great light and it is so roomy and everything is organized. Since my accident I have probably spent 3 hours in my studio. I cry when I go down there because I am grateful for one more day to paint, one more day to love my kids, one more day to cuddle with my hubby, one more day to see the beautiful sunshine streaming in my window, one more day to pet my dog, Ben. Here he is. He doesn't look like the type of dog to pull you down the deck stairs, does he?





Things are going well, but I'm getting frustrated at all the hobbling around in crutches I have to do.
