hi!
I’m just popping up for some air and to say I’m still here. I’m not painting but I am using every nap time and all my night-owl hours (after the baby goes to sleep) to do work and such. So busy lately! I can’t wait until I can share everything I’m working on…
I do have exciting news though. My new camera came in the mail the other day. It’s really neat. I’ll give you a full review when I get more used to it. It’s very strange and awkward at this point (you hold it like a video camera) but it’s really fun too. Lots of gimmicks… some I don’t really need. The only thing is, the super big memory card hasn’t arrived yet so I can only take three pictures at a time. It kinda hampers the learning curve process.
Gotta run! I’ll be back in a few days…

painting in the sticks
I’ve been busy out here in the sticks. Busy painting. This is such a good thing. I was really worried about the gallery show coming up. Firstly because I don’t paint often and I’m not very good and secondly because I have no paintings! It’s kinda hard to have a show without any paintings!
So now I have some paintings. Yay!!!! I’m not anywhere near done but this is a good start. I’m starting to get excited about them too. I’m hating them less and less and even starting to become fond of some of them. They were fun to paint, like characters in my head begging to come out and play.
I was going to write a blog post about how I need to stop blogging for a while and focus on painting but I think that’s going to happen anyway. I don’t really need to make an announcement saying, “I’m going to blog less now.” Who knows, maybe I’ll blog more. Maybe I’ll blog about the ongoing progress. I’m just happy to report that I think I’m over that beginning stage where I’m so terrified of failure. Starting is the hardest part. I think…
I will probably hate them again and want to throw them all in a trash compacter and start over…but I won’t. I’ll just plug on through. It’s going to be fun. It’s all about the process not the end result right?
