These may look a little familiar. I have shown some sneak peeks of them over the past few weeks. These paintings have taken what seems like forever to complete. I haven’t had a ton of time to spend on them, and finding little bits of time here and there slowly got them to this point, and it is amazing to see them finally finished. Once I get them scanned I will post each one.

For me lots of things seem to be taking a lot longer to complete this year. I am hoping with the change of seasons, the longer days, and the energy that seems to come with it, that I can be slightly more productive. It may just be wishful thinking, and I am ok with whatever pace my art takes. It will all get done, because it matters to me. I like to think of it as following the detour…

It has been awhile since I have written anything, on here, in my journal, and just in general. I feel as if I am off track a little. Work has been draining me, my creativity, and my time. I figured when I went back to work full-time again that there would be an adjustment period. It’s been three months and I suppose I can say I am finally starting to get into a routine, but the feeling of being out of sorts hasn’t gone away. It’s as if I have two left feet. I hope really soon to feel as if I have found some balance, some time for everything I want out of life. For now this is just how life has to be I guess. Little shifts, and changes can create big change over time. That is the approach I hope to take, am taking. So here is to another week beginning, another opportunity to make time, to create the life I want to live, and be the best person I can.

A painting currently in the works…

I’m really happy with how this illustration turned out, but before all the pieces came together to make this illo I had a very different vision for what this was suppose to look like. Sometimes I feel with my art that I am just along for the ride, I’m following its lead, and well eventually I end up somewhere completely new with a different perspective. Slowly but surely I am learning to give into the flow and stop fighting for that vision I thought I had, because sometimes a new perspective is what I was looking for all along.
