At this stage, anything's possible...... a view from behing my easel, all set up and ready for this afternoon's painting session.
Let me start of with a warm and sincere "thank you" to those who emailed and messaged their support afteryesterday's little confession.
I am the poster child for rabid optimism. Which means that this dilemma seems impossible for me to wrap my head around and embrace.
What? no glittery rainbow? no dancing unicorns?
Nope. At least not today.
Some of the most profound discoveries come from difficult places. That doesn't mean I have to like it or even pretend it isn't happening, that I'm in an uncomfortable spot and not sure how to move on.
Apparently the plight of being lost in the creative wilderness is one shared by many. It surprises me there isn't a wild party happening in here, but maybe I've not wandered about for long enough.....
Let me go on record - I assure you I'm not packing up my brushes. Nor will I make any sort of hasty retreat. Or paint cows every day.
This month marks the beginning of my 7th year as a daily painter and blogger. This is a commitment that has enriched my life immeasurably, and I know it is also what will carry me through to the next phase.
So thank you AGAIN for supporting me. Warm chocolate chip cookies for everyone - I'm moving to the easel (you can follow along with the quad-portrait I'm starting this afternoon over on Facebook).
Fondly,
Kim, who is still quivering in her Wonder Woman cons but feeling empowered by all the superheros in the Painting a Dog a Day community

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me . Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po
OOOw. I missed your confession. Was it juicy?
