Just when I have made a firm decision about my next two paintings, another subject jumps in and usurps the first spot!!!  This happened with Plimoth Wife, a Best of Show Winner, and it has happened at other times, all leading to good recognitions.  I haven’t even gotten back to the work I was doing when Plimoth Wife intervened.  Others just kept saying, me first, me first.

So, I’m heading toward some personal shows this spring and summer and I have wanted to get some really good examples of my most recently fine tuned abilities.  I chose two subjects that I really want to be included and I was getting ready to begin the sketches when this other image started drawing my attention.  I can’t avoid it.  It has to be done.  Do you all experience this; a subject calling you?

Well, as soon as I get the sketch done I will up load it here so you can see it.  Of course I am excited and I will probably loose sleep over it.  These next two weeks have a lot of family gatherings to draw me happily away and I will use that time to solidify the final ‘masterpiece’ in my mind.  Till then, enjoy your families and friends while we can.  Shalom, Diana
