It's been a terribly long time since I have updated or even really looked at my poor lost blog. I have felt that since no one particularly reads or comments that it is pointless to update, but at the same time I can't help but think this could still be a fruitful endeavor.
I have accomplished much lately because creativity has plowed right into me. A few months ago, I finished a triptych piece for a commission and have been so glad to earn that money, but more so to have experienced the process of making the painting, working with such a lovely individual, and feeling completely at ease at being able to let the piece go.
Also, I have been working on my series for my show in May and have gone through many trials and tribulations; however, there is hope in sight. I have created a Facebook page for my artwork, and although it is an extremely modest following, I am grateful for every follower I have.
Inspiration is everywhere and showing up not just in my studio, but in others blogs, work, and ideas, too. I'm so excited for all these things I have encountered and discovered to be completed and see the fruits of all of every one's labor morph into art and something tangible.
Very soon do I hope to continue these posts and tell about the things I see, even if no one reads about it here except myself and my one, lovely follower.
Merry Christmas to anyone reading this and have a blessed New Year, my dears.

It's Going Down
It has been forever since I updated, but I've had a lot going on. I've been out of school long enough now too want something to do, just in time to work on decorating for Vacation Bible School and to start my first ever summer class! I'm posting now because I'm getting ready to start painting animals and make a waterfall for the class I'm working in for VBS and I realized I had a method for getting ready to paint.
How You Know When It's About to Go Down!
-I will have coffee in my penguin mug, no other mug will do
-I will be listening to one of 2 playlists on iTunes: Michael Cera Music or Operation Dinner Out (if you get that joke then I love you)
-The weather or news is on even though I have it muted
-There are multiple old towels, paper towels, and bottles and cups of water
-I drag out every blank canvas and unfinished art piece, as if I'm going to paint them all in one sitting
-Finally, I lock my dog out of my room so he won't lay on anything and end up with a painting on his back
Just thought it was interesting how I always do this, especially the things that really have nothing to do with painting at all. And it's only when I'm home. I don't do this at school, but maybe I do have a method there too. Hmm, curiouser and curiouser.
