Book

The past two days no painting has been done, but I did write. My whispers have been telling me to write more and more. I continue to edit my book that I started about 2 years ago. It has been coming along pretty well, or so I thought. Little did I know I would be changing the entire thing!!! Do authors go through this...change 80% of the book. I changed a good part of the book but with the same message and the same idea, just the main character was changed!!

It's getting harder and harder!!

Well needless to say, it's getting harder and harder to stay focused and have the creative energy flowing through my body!! It's been kinda busy with the boys and just living the everyday life. So my schedule is as follows, I get some TV time early in the morning, where I get to watch the one or two TV shows I DVR'd the night before, then play with the boys, snack time go for a walk or shopping, lunch, play then start diner and somewhere in there Lucas takes a nap!! :)

Book in the works!

I have been thinking a lot about the book I have written and what to change in it to be more appealing to the masses. It is a bilingual book about a little Taino Indian boy who finds a treasure in El Yunque (Puerto Rican rainforest) and tells all his animals friends in the forest. At the end there is a surprise!! I can't spoil it for everybody. LOL

I also have another idea for a book, somewhat in the same lines as the first, but I don't want to say too much... hey you never know who is reading this post...copyright and stuff ya know!!! but I highly doubt that would happen but I don't want to take my chances!! :)

My whispers are calling out to me.....write, create,empower yourself!!!

Let the crying begin!!!

Call me a stay at home mom/football widow/struggling artist!!!!!!

Yesterday was my first day at home with the boys as my husband headed off to work and then football practice afterwards. Not a good day, my oldest son Owen got time out about four times and Lucas my youngest was good all in all it was a stressful day. I love my boys and any opportunity I have with them is great whether it be when they are crying or when they are smiling!!

On the painting front I got two leaves done on my painting which should have been done a while ago.

I found a sketch I did last summer when I was away from home for a week and my husband had to cope with the boys (Lucas was just 2 months old)...my whisper is telling me how much I cherish and love my boys!!!

Where do I start!!!

As of right now I am having some troubles with time issues and a little depressed I don't have a job...but maybe this is what I am supposed to be doing...painting, creating, drawing and writing...did I tell you I have two children's books in the works. (in my own world that is...no publisher yet, jut the beginnings of two great books!!)

This is a painting I started a couple of days ago.

First sketch on canvas. First coat of paint, showing where the shadows are...done with the flowers...notice the coqui in the center atop a hibiscus bud...

Mr. Demille's close up of the flowers.

Everything in life is a work in progress!!!!

Time Traveler's Wife

I went to see the time traveler's wife and all I could really see in this movie, that was dragged out and slow, is the fact that Claire was an artist!!! I took that as another sign! her garage was her studio and she created her art. I literally said OMG in the middle of the movie all the high school kids texting in the row in front of me must had said, RUDE!!! LOL
