Dissipating off days, but I sold a new pendant!!

I love my days off, but then again who doesn't? LOL Today I'm am paying for being up late at night once again. I was feeling so inspired. Not to mention I had to make a pretty package for my sale I made last night. That's going off to the post office in a few minutes. I'm so happy for a sale. However I have another thing that's bothering me right now. It's summer break and I must absolutely find something for my kids to do especially my son. I figure a trip to my dads is good. But then what? I think I may possibly have some leads. Thanks to one of my good friends and clients. And it sounds like it will not cost me an arm and a leg. Now back to the program I have been twitting and trying to stay connected on the world wide web and boy is it exhausting. Not to mention the stuff I need to line up in the actual real world ie festivals, art shows, exhibitions blah blah blah. I've joined a few art communities online like GaryReef and Milliande' and Williowing....

Where has my spirit gone?

I'm not in the Christmas mood. I don't feel the holiday cheer. Last year this time we had trimmed the tree on Thanksgiving evening and the house smelled like cinnamon and pine. The fire was crackling.(Well the fake one anyway) I had decorations everywhere.I even had Christmas playing in the house or in the car. It just felt like the happy holidays. I even enjoyed the malls. And to tell you the truth I didn't spend a lot of money. I had what I needed and there were always people stopping by. I had plenty of food, wine, and spirits to give. I love to give it feels good. My time, my love filled cooking, my happy energy, and yes even my money. Especially during the holidays. It feels good to give all year long. But this year there is a void I have a sadness in my heart.I don't know if its the craziness in the world or the craziness in my life or both. Maybe the church programs will help me feel better. I just can't seem to get excited about anything right now.

A Mommy's Love

It all started with a vision that came to me early early in the morning. Thats when I did a rough sketch but once I had the vision down I cleaned up the sketch to make the vision clear and exact. I then had to make a decision as to what medium I wanted to paint this piece on. I knew my last piece was done on wood and I realized then how much I enjoyed working on wood. So I decided that I wanted to do this piece on wood as well. Then the dilemma of the size was the next issue I couldn't determine whether to go with the same as I had done before or larger. I had been recently dreaming about creating detailed pieces that are inspired by Gustav Klimt and other great masters from the past. I dreamed so much about it that I even went got a few hard back colorful vivid books showcasing art in Neo Classical, Art Nouveau, Renaissance , Surrealism styles and genres. I myself tend to gravitate towards a hodge podge of surrealism, art nouveau with a lowbrow twist...
