I'm one who never sits still for long and I've been crazy busy these past few weeks. It's not that I haven't had time to paint...but I've been trying to embrace the word "balance". I've been balancing my time between family, friends, the dreaded housework and my love of painting. Balancing one's time is not as easy as it might sound. My passion to paint is always tugging at my heartstrings. It seems I can easily spend every waking hour painting or scoping out new places and subject matter to paint. The more I paint...the more my passion awakens.
Following are a few of the studies I've done in the past 2-3 weeks (disclaimer...I don't think they're in the finished state but this is where I left off with each of them). These paintings were squeezed in around family gatherings, lunch dates, painting with friends, and a massive spring cleaning of the house. In conjunction with those things...I also found the perfect tray at TJMaxx to organize and hold the entire set of Terry Ludwig pastels I recently purchased....I so love TJMaxx! I'm in heaven.
