I've begun doing daily paintings again.  I recently have had many transformative moments, including turning 31 and getting married, which have helped me to refocus on painting, and creating.  A friend of mine made the comment to me "we have so few days."  I haven't been able to get this out of my head.  It has really made me think, and it echoes within me daily.  So, here I am, back at the easel, striving to create something, and take advantage of each day I am given.

Madame Butterfly, Pencil & Chalk on White Paper, 8.75 inches square

The next in this series of self portraits I have been working on...I really like how this one turned out - I am enjoying portraying myself as various whimsical characters!

Tell me, where is fancy bred?

Happy New Year! I have big plans for 2011. I turned 30 this past summer, I am getting married this coming summer, and after what feels like an eternal hiatus, I am back to making art.

I have been reading and following The Artist's Way, which has been enormously helpful in getting me back into the swing of things.

So, stay posted for lots of paintings, drawings and studies!
