I have begun to post the work in progress of Andrea. I just posted image three and I realized that each image I post in order actually knocks the previous one down. In other words, I want our family to see the first ones first but the order they appear on this post will be the opposite. If Nelly or Andrea are checking this daily they will see them as I post them but if they find it after all the images are posted they will see the finished work and then scroll down to see the previous one. Well, I’ll just have to settle for that.
To all of you new followers of my post, hi and welcome. I am simply an artist who takes a little time to share what is happening in my studio. There is so much going on, I can’t keep up. I’ve so far never experienced artist burn out or artist block. My mind keeps ticking away and something is always calling me to get started. I simply have to decide and do the piece that is calling strongest. Right now I am working on a tiny view of nature for an artist’s group that meets about every six weeks. Hope I can get it finished. I have a huge piece in sketch that I need to start because it has to be ready for show entry in a couple of months. I have a portrait of my grandson in the works, simple and should be easy. I have an unfinished painting that I started several years ago and it got side tracked by others that seemed more pressing. I don’t like to let things remain unfinished unless I do that as an artistic choice. Hope what I post is at least interesting or inspiring.
My centenarian, mentioned in a previous post, has been hospitalized and is home again. He will turn one hundred in July. His wife is 92. They insist on taking care of themselves but how is that working for them: not so good. Seems there is not much I can do about it. My uncle is witty and feisty and fun to be with if you can tolerate his stubborn side. But he is tough. I’m glad!
The only other thing I’ll mention is that I’ve entered two national and international shows. I’ll let you know if any of my work is chosen. If so, I’ll tell you where to see it. Wish me luck. Diana
