I'm taking flight!!!

I received my book yesterday in the mail. With the kaos of the day it has been passed from the dinner table, to the coffee table, to the side table, to a chair. It is quiet now, both boys are sleeping and I finally get a chance to open it's cover to read and to look at the great artwork inside.

"I'll share with you the whispers of my own heart, how I ignored them for most of my life, and how once I started listening to the language of my yearnings, buried dreams became unearthed and creative joy exploded into my life. I'll share how to listen to the whispers, the callings of our heart, can lead the way to a rediscovery of self, a more creative life and a set of your very own wings" CHAPTER 1 Taking Flight by Kelly Rae Roberts

I found this very first page to be very intriguing and oddly enough....INSPIRING!!

Bobcaygeon, Canada

I was on vacation all week and I got a half of a sketch done. Well this is the deal, we drove up to Bobcaygeon, Ontario in Canada (eh) and had a splendid week of relaxation. I mean REAL relaxation, floating on a tube in a somewhat cold lake, ate like a fish, there was food everywhere, and watched my two boys have fun playing in the sand and interact with other kids, it was amazing. So I have had two great vacations back to back.

I took my sketchbook and little got done, I feel that I have no time to draw but I did have a lot of time to THINK!!!! I stared at the night sky, at the amazing constellations and the shooting stars as marshmallows roasted and hot dogs cooked on the fire. (and by the way heard some amazing hilariously funny jokes...If you see me ask me about them, nothing is better that sitting by the fire eating a marshmallows and laughing so much you have tears running down your cheek!!!!!)

I though about where I want my paintings to take me....All I want is to be recognized as a good artist and have people like my work and maybe buy some of them. To be recognized as an artist that found her inspiration in all the right places (still looking for the right places...it's hard)

I haven't written in a week and I have a lot flowing though my head!!!

As the thoughts, ideas and inspiration flows so will the blogs!!!!

Thanks for reading!!
