redecorating
I’m not usually one for rearranging or reorganizing often, lately, my office has been the exception to the rule. I’ve been on a quest to create a calm fantastical space for myself to create in, and for guests to sleep in. I’ve found that with the addition of new furniture (bookshelf, futon, chest) comes new…

LOTR (and stuff)
It’s weird, blogging almost daily and then not touching it for several days. I was missing it this morning, but didn’t really have time to sit down and write until now. The last few days have been full of fun adventures (and the exhaustion that inevitably follows, tomorrow I’ll probably sleep in late). So, earlier…

You know that Moment
When you make something and you love it and are proud of it and aren’t really sure you want to sell it? That. Today. The TARDIS. I bought two 7×14 canvases the other day so I could use my acrylics again, and this was the first thing I decided to do. And…

Energy Spurts
Occasionally I get on this kick where I update everything, yesterday was one of those days. I added my two most recent paintings to etsy and then updated the pricing, shipping, and display pictures (now they’re all uniform) to all the paintings in my shop. The internet didn’t seem to like etsy, so it took…

I'm Better!
I’m so close to being back to normal, I’m really happy. Today I finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and walked to the library to take out the Half Blood Prince, and then reserved the Deathly Hallows (on CD!). Can’t wait to finish the series, honestly. It’s moving and hits something that…

I may be just a tad excited
because…. I HAVE BLUE HAIR. I feel like I can legitimately say “I’m an artist” now. I finally stopped telling myself “no” (giving myself permission to be creative with my hair, not just canvas)- and then Alex surprised me by setting up an appointment for me. I feel free and beautiful. I haven’t…

The Gallery of Whimsy
After a few weeks of fighting with my shop (something about the update ate my visual editor) I decided to just start completely over and re launch my gallery of whimsy in a more fun place! I spent all night re-uploading the pictures (most of them, the pictures I recently re-shot with our canon T3i)…

Discovering other Artists
The one thing that’s helped me the most on my artistic journey is reading other art blogs. Usually empty easel, but occasionally I find other resources. Sometimes unexpectedly. One piece of advice I hear a lot is to find an artist who inspires you, who you can learn from and look up to. As I’m…

I have a plan!
It’s already time to start thinking about art shows for this year – I actually sent in an application to one show, but I won’t know if I’m in for a few weeks still. But as I was feeling weak all day I thought I would do myself a favor and plan out what I…

Progress (Already!)
Last month, around this time, I wrote three posts of things I want to do/accomplish this year personally, artistically, and with my book. Personally, I’ve done two (3 if you count the oregon trip as a personal vacation and not a couples one) – I’ve gotten myself a bathing suit that I look *cute* in…
