doesn't my front yard look pretty all decorated with snow? it took me all night.
i'm exhausted.
i despise leaving my blog so neglected. this year has started off with less than a bang.
Worst Cold Ever has finally subsided, but left behind a lovely dry cough as a parting gift.
[annoying]
[depressing]
i've got 5 more dental illustrations (yep...dental) to do to complete a big client project.
[i'm currently procrastinating by writing this post]
this year is going to be exciting. come fall, my daughter will be entering kindergarten.
full time.
and i am excited. hey, don't get me wrong. i have LOVED every minute home with her. but i'm also excited to have some free time back. day time that is. to get my freelance graphics work done, and spend time painting.
lots of time painting. in normal daylight hours. not those crazy late vampire hours.
i will have dedicated 5 years home with her, putting aside my artistic goals. no guilt, no resentment. but now i'm ready to get back to it. and i've got a lot of time to make up.
of course, that won't be until september. but as time allows i will be working on building my new body of work. checking one painting off at a time from my gigantic to do list.
:]

thank you paz! while i don't get to comment often right now i do still view all of your posts. your photos make me want to visit new york... after the snow melts. LOL
Going back to work after being home with my children was wonderfully liberating!
I adored being an at home mom but needed something outside it for me.

Lots of luck.
Yes this winter has been grim
husband sick
mother in law sick
daughter stranded by snow over Xmas......
