The long months in Fairbanks

I KNOW I KNOW! I havent written a thing in months. IVE BEEN A HORRIBLE BLOGGER! Really how good was i anywase? 

Life has been crazy. Moving..again. Unpacking... again. Finding time to do anything...again. It doesnt help matters that I work now. Yep! Seven fun filled hours a day where i process orders and if im lucky i get to read a book and maybe do a little doodling. All these years, ive been excited to work out side the home and get paid!! I dont know why. Now that im doing it, i feel, well ripped off!

The first few weeks in the office,I had sketch books and colored pencils spread across my desk. If someone walked in, it wasnt a pleasent sight. I had to scrabmle to clear my mess. And then we became busier and the desire to create became smaller and smaller. 

 My creative side hit a bigger slump by the time I staggered through my front door, work time magically turned into homework and dinner time. And exercise time... dont even ask.

Its a very sad truth that i wouldnt have created a thing, if it wasnt for a showing in a local store in wasilla, that i sighned up for months ago, that i began to paint again. (yes, that was a huge run on sentence.) 

So I began flipping through my sketch books and my swipe files looking for new ideas... and i found one. And gave it a shot. 



 This is what came of it. I thought it was awesome. And I wanted to try it again. So I did!


And again


And then I was on a roll as I began doing something all new. I love it when that happens:) I absolutely adore stumbling onto something fantastic that you didnt even know was out there. Life is amazing when it gives you something fantastic that you didnt see coming. 


I think this one is my favorite. 

I will have all of these on fineartamerica.com as soon as I sighn them and take decent photos. And lets not forget naming them. After all, a real artist names her work, right? ;) I will have atleast five more to add to these.

Untill then, create something beautiful today.
