Things are happening in my life, even if I'm not posting them here for you to read about.
On the art front I'm feeling scattered and odd. My classes continue to go well (probably because my students are just so great) but as far as my own work in the studio, I'll admit that the easel has nothing on it.
On Friday last I confided in Susan Kelley (an artist whose work I love) about my plight and she made me feel better. When I told her that when I sit down to paint nothing comes out of me she quickly said, "Well, that's pregnancy---you're too scattered."
YES! That's so true. Sometimes knowing stuff like this can make it easier to overcome. Let's all hope this is true because I have really wanted to be creative. I'm getting antsy to get something on easel again.
AND---drumroll---we're getting new windows for my studio installed THIS SATURDAY! What a great upgrade this will be to what was a three-season sun porch. Since Tim and I insulated last summer, new windows this summer---maybe that room will be a cooler spot this August. When baby comes, maybe I'll be able to crank out a whole slew of new works!
Well, we'll have to wait and see.
Wish me luck in the meantime!

Kim,
Take heart! Your creative juices are being sucked up by another of your greatest creations! Do not fret; just have patience. In time you will be back to the easel with energy and inspiration.
Love you Dearie!

Kim, a dear friend gave me "lemon oil" in December 2008. He to told me that "the painting reminded him of me -- making lemonaide out of lemons". LOVE IT! And because it is petite, it travels with me throughout the rooms of my house. Always giving me a smile, a chuckle and sometimes a hearty guffaw!
Today I found your site and your blog. What a great way to start the day!
