I still find each day 

too short for all

 the thoughts I

want to think, all 

the walks I want to

 take, all the books 

I want to read, and 

all the friends I 

want to see.

This is another one of my florals. 

 It's 20x20 acrylic on canvas. 

I have been painting everyday.  It's what I have been trying to do for a while.

I paint before work, I paint after work.  I paint all weekend long then,  I make jewlery, I clean the house, wash clothes, pickup my daughter from school all that.  I visit with my parents everyday even if it's just for a little while. Never enough time for everything I want to squeeze into my day. But last weekend I spent some time with my friend Clare.  I must admit I had a hard time letting my mind go and relax especially with inspiration everywhere.  But I had a great time with an old friend.  Thanks Clare, I needed that!

You must do the things you think you cannot do.

On September 5th I had my first Art Exhibit! 

 I am beyond excited where I am in my life right now.  I painted all summer and showed a few pieces.  I have many unfinished pieces that I am working on.  I had a huge turn out.  Met many  new beautiful people that came to see my art.  

My daughter Stephanie just finished baking school.  Just in time!  They tasted amazing!

This is one of my pieces I showed that evening.  I had more pieces than space on the wall so I used table easles to display the rest.
