Wow I haven't posted an entry in days....Been painting so much that I haven't done much else. Sometimes it's like that. I get on a roll and I can't stop. Last night I sat up in bed until 3:30 and painted my very first oil painting. I've never used oils before, in fact I always felt a little intimidated by them, but I decided to start with an ( Read more... )

Ever get days where you are so exhausted you can't even paint? Well I'm having one of those. Although it doesn't help that I have a sleep disorder so I didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night. Part of the reason I have been away from work. I have something called RLS and it is so annoying not only that it robs you of sleep but it also makes ( Read more... )

Wow sometimes the days just fly by. I feel as though I missed Saturday although I know I was busy getting my car fixed. We finally had a bright sunny day here, although a bit cold. I do respite care with a four year old autistic boy and today I took him swimming at the pool and then to MacDonalds. He is so cute in the water. I chase him trying ( Read more... )

I've had a very crummy week but I am not going to talk about that. Sometimes the more you talk about bad times the harder it is to get over them...so moving forward. A wonderful thing happened to me today...In November my car died, well more like blew up but thankfully no one was hurt. At about the same time I had met and was talking to a guy ( Read more... )

I originally had a website made for me but that person backed out before I could learn it. Then I had another one made and it was too hard to find the ( Read more... )

Okay I've heard of writers block and I think that I may have painters block. You know one of those times when you can stare and stare at a canvas and just cannot bring yourself to pick up the paintbrush? What a strange feeling. It's not that there aren't ideas swimming around in my head, they swim so fast I get dizzy! But something, sometimes ( Read more... )

Okay this is my fourth log entry and I am still trying to maneuver the site and figure out how to add pictures etc. I was lucky to get some help from a friend at EBSQ. However, I am still not quite sure what a blog is suppose to be about. I think some people treat it as a journal of sorts, some as a place to rant and air their views and others ( Read more... )

Do you ever have one of those days when you know you should have stayed in bed? Yup, we all do. Well, I had one of those yesterday ( Read more... )

Wow my second entry already. I'm sure there will be many in the next few days as I get my Journal underway. I also wanted to mention that I am an artist. A recently evolved artist. Funny how many artists found their 'calling' later in life. Well, add me to the statistics. I have always loved drawing but never had the confidence to pick up a ( Read more... )
