Painting Again  -  9/11/2007
Last week I began painting again and slowly working on my sketches. I hadn't realized how totally devastated I was after my "art debut". But here I am, at it again and enjoying it. I'm painting for me. Then out of the blue my massage therapist asked to see a few of my paintings. I told her they were very plain but she wants to see them anyway. I'm not getting excited about this one. I've also started working on my bears and my own designs. It's slow going but I need to stay focused. I find so many excuses to deviate.

Debut  -  27/5/2007
I stepped out, created prints on canvas, five of my most treasured pieces of art. Selected the area to offer my work, prints & originals, and bombed (well that is how I feel). Many positive comments and feedback, but alas, no purchases yet promises to "get back to me" ~ time will tell. My Mom and my brother John are my biggest supporters, I love and appreciate them both. Family accept all of you ~ good and not so good. External recognition 'rules', yet they are so subjective to the mood or environment. My expression remains the same ~ like my work or leave it. Perhaps, another day, another time.

Southern Ontario Trip  -  23/4/2007
Here I am into the countdown for my trip to southern Ontario. My artwork is at the printers, keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well. LJ helped me with the prep work.

Art Challenge: Foal  -  19/4/2007

My latest attempt at art. Acquired the photo from Pet-Portrait Artists forum, Art Challenge. The first posting was terrible. Next day I looked at it and was so disappointed. So this evening I worked on it again and voila here it is.
Better than before, I hope. I doubt anyone will comment but I feel better about it. I feel I have given her more depth. Seeing it posted I can see the areas I need to work on. She will do for now.

Tuesday Disappointment  -  10/4/2007
Today I made an attempt to upload a pic for critique to the pet-portraits forum. The link needed a login password, so I made changes & told them, but no one went back to check. I'm not interactive enough for those type of forums. Oh well, the pic is there & the link works. Everyone else have their pics right on the post, don't know why mine isn't. Maybe I will go online and try it. Wish me luck

 1st Blog  -  29/3/2007
This is my first 'blog', isn't this just thrilling. I feel like I'm in a little dark corner of the cyber-world, hidden from all. I think it's the navy blue banner, reminds me of outer space. So there you go folks my brain on cyberblog.
I think I'll have a nap now.
