Hi I am feeling like a mama bird on her nest suddenly realizing someone is stirring down there!!! WOW !!! It definitely is a giddy feeling. What a special time of year to launch this blog. I have been searching for an artistic voice for a very long time. I don't want you to think I have found it yet by any means but thanks to the Goddess I am having lots of fun coloring lots of pictures. Making more and more things which I can look at and feel wonderful about. I don't have a clue where this will take me if anywhere. What I do know is that I am having fun and certainly adding lots of bright colors not only to my life but to the world all around me. I want my life to keep growing in this fashion that much I definitely know. During the rest of this week I will be experimenting on how I add things to my blog, posting not just my work but the work of others which I find on this journey. I can hardly believe it but sharing other artists creations is going to be just as much fun as posting my own attempts. I definitely am an untrained artist, so knowing that also know I have come to the realization I need to do this for my soul. This blog is going to be my refrigerator on which all my endeavors are lovingly hung by someone who loves me. Since that hasn't happened in many years you can imagine how with trepidation I am taking these new baby steps in my life as an artist. Someone recently asked me what have I created or done artistically??? I was flabbergasted and stood there with my mouth wide open and my mind frantically dashing through all the files stuck in my brain. What have I really done? Where are the pictures that I have created well all right where are the pictures I have colored??? Nothing was displayed in my mind let alone in my home on the walls. I have all these art materials, all these hopes, all these ideas but even I haven't hung anything up to enjoy let alone admire. I do have lots of pictures that I have colored tucked away in all sorts of nooks and cranny's, but there is nothing which has been handled with any love or caring even that little bit of caring mother gives her child's colorings. I have never given myself the minute of happiness a well executed picture offers from it's spot on the wall. I have come face to face with the enemy and it is me--I believe this belongs to a cartoonist whose name I can't remember, but who definitely hit the nail right square on it's head.
I am off to play some and learn some, to laugh a lot to come back nice and fresh and take another baby step. I am excited to see just what that step will be!!!!
