Another New Painting

This one is 16" x 20" too. (sorry about the glare at the bottom again)

:-) One more day till Spring Break!!!

I'm going bigger...

My two latest paintings are 16" x 20". I am working on six more at this size. The images are not as vibrant or clear as my earlier pieces because I photographed these since they will not fit on my scanner. In person, they look awesome (if I do say so myself). :o)

Only two more days till SPRING BREAK!!!

The First Part is Done

I've created an artist page for myself on Facebook, and let me tell ya' it's part exciting, and part scary. :-) Tomorrow I plan to work on the little details of the give-away I will be posting Monday morning. Until then, have a wonderful rest of the weekend everyone.

A Little Contest!!! Woo-hoo!!!

Ok!!! Monday morning (after I get everything set-up this weekend) I will be putting up a little contest to win some prints of my work. I will put all of the information on here early Monday morning and on my facebook too. Yay, this is fun for me to plan. So until then... Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Staying Busy, Staying Happy

I've been working hard to stay busy the past few months. I've been doing a lot painting, reading, and had way more doctor visits than I'd like. I am working on making taking care of myself a priority, which oddly enough was not my top priority for quite a while. I've started acupunture, which I LOVE, and I start physical therapy for my knee today, which I am hoping will have me jumping around without having any surgery. It's hard to dance around your house with a brace on your leg, but don't think I haven't tried. (hmm... maybe that's why my knee isn't getting better... haha) Seriously though, I am having a lot of pain with it, and am frustrated by the fact that it is not improving. I'm a pretty independent person, so the fact that simple getting around has been so hard is kind of scary. I am crossing my fingers that putting in a lot of hard work with my physical therapy will pay off.
One of the things I am really working on is being present and happy in the moment. My sister also reminded me of something yesterday, that I am in a position to do anything that I want to do with my life. I just have to keep reminding myself of that, remind myself of all of the wonderful things I have right now, keep doing what makes me happy, and surround myself with creative, caring and supportive people. I'm rereading my Abraham-Hicks books, my copy of "A New Earth," and I'm about to start reading "Peace Is Every Step" by Thich Nhat Hanh, which has been recommended to me by several people.
My artwork is becoming much more expressive recently than it has been in a while. I've realized that no matter what it is that I am painting, my feelings and intentions come through without even trying for them to. It's allowing me to feel much more spontaneity with my work. I am getting a nice group of work together and plan to talk to a few places about showing it, and maybe sell some originals and prints. I love the little contests that many blogs that I follow have. I am going to try to have one this Friday, if I figure out how the random picker thing works. :-)


Have a great week everyone!
