(and again... and again... and again...)As I started the 30 little paintings in 30 days, I met someone, who is now my husband. I have let myself stop my artwork - I think I may have not been ready to do it again, so I focused on my new life. I considered giving up my art, because it was still too painful to work. I've been through a lot. Slowly I started to feel a longing towards my creativity again. I feel rusty, weak footed, unsure - but like someone who had a physical injury and needs to work at getting stronger and more confident again, one step at a time - I plan on taking it one step at a time. I also want to learn to let my art, my creativity go. To let myself be vulnerable and let it show in my work. Not to critique my work and hide what I feel isn't for "human consumption" I realized that restricting what I feel will be perceived as "good" or "bad" instead of looking at whether what I am doing is authentic. I have always had a fear of being perceived being not good, or if people think I'm good, I worry about disappointing them if I put more of myself into it. So I am stepping out, slowly going where I haven't been before - a step at a time. Life is a journey - we all have our own journey and we are the hero of our journey, full of challenges, dangers, failures, joys, loves, and triumphs. So here's to the next page in the next chapter on our journey.<br />

Here is a quick sketch of a beautifully ugly Brandywine Red tomato from my garden. The bouts of rain, then hot drought, and rain again has resulted exploding, wonderfully misshapen, but still yummy tomatoes.<br />

Here is today's little painting, an experiment of the watercolor technique called wet-on-wet. The paper is soaked in water and then paint is applied tot he wet paper so the colors bleed into each other. I know some people hate dandelions in their lawn, but I have always liked them. They are cheerful, resilient, with a promise of a wish.</div>

Just for fun I'll be choosing 1 person each day (starting <a href="x-apple-data-detectors://2" x-apple-data-detectors-result="2" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">Jan 2</a>) to receive the previous day's painting from the people who like, comment or share my posts about my artwork from the previous day. Hope its not too confusing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So share, like, or comment about this post and you'll be included in the group of names I choose from tomorrow to receive this little guy. This is totally unscientific, I'll just write the names on little pieces of paper, throw them into a tupperware and pick one. If your name is picked, of course I will need your address to mail it to you. I will message you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So despite the lovely head cold that came upon me for the new year, here is my first little painting. Happy New Year everyone!</div>

The participating artists were given a gold and/or silver 8x8 canvas to paint. They will be sold at the event on Dec 4 for $75 and all proceeds will go into the AiM Scholarship Fund. They ended up being a lot of fun to do, and I may create a series based on these.</span><br />

I like how quite it is Sunday mornings, so Cassie and I set out for adventure. Just some bunnies, and the melodies of feathered friends. Home again, home again, jigity jig.

so I decided to give them a try. Of course - PAPER CUT! After a lot of cursing and a Mickey band-aid the experimentation continued. I don't have any Japanese or origami paper and my drawing paper proved to be too thick, so I tried wrapping paper - didn't come out too bad. I may have to purchase some appropriate paper and do some more :)<br />
<br />
Now what next? Any suggestions Cassie?<br />

I love the Outer Banks and I especially love Corolla, NC. It was a special favorite place for my husband and I. This is Currituck Light. 220 steps to the top where awaits a gorgeous view of Corolla, the ocean and The Whalehead Club. We have spent vacations in Corolla probably 20 times over the years and were even married in Corolla. Wonderful, wonderful memories. Every visit to the Outer Banks, I've visited this lighthouse and climbed the 220 steps to the beautiful view not seen anywhere else.</div>

I recently completed a custom order for an Etsy customer - a pastel painting of Ocracoake Light.<br />
She left me some very nice feedback, and it made my day. This is what she said.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="review" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<i>Even more beautiful in person! Thank you so much, it was WELL received.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm always relieved when someone likes their painting. It's why I do it - spread a little happiness.</div>
