This past week, I went to the beach with my family. It's always nice to get away from the hustle and bustle and have nothing on my to do list except for walk the beach every day. Going to the beach also helps me to clear my mind, and assess where I am on a lot of levels. While I feel rejuvenated and can't wait to tackle some new things (especially art-wise), I realized that my blog has been lacking a lot of late. My once a week Monday post has slowly devolved into posting more sporadically, which I don't like. Somehow, the week sneaks up on me and Monday comes and goes.
So I've decided to challenge myself. For a month (since that's the amount of time it takes to create a habit and not too much pressure), I'm going to post every Monday and Friday. Just like any good product, it takes time to create good art, so subject matter can be tough sometimes to drum up. So sometimes I'll write about what I've accomplished, and sometimes I'll write about what I didn't accomplish, and sometimes I'll just blog about myself so you can get to know me better. But the point is, the goal is to blog.
So with that, welcome to the first day of the challenge! As I mentioned before, I went to the beach last week with my family. It was particularly special since this was the first year that baby girl came along (not in my belly). She loved the beach and the pool, and had some of the best naps of her life (she was a sleepy bear after all the fun we'd have everyday). Overall it was really relaxing and while I wish I could have spent another week there, it's fun to be home and back at the easel!
Art-wise, this week I'm going to start a new ballerina in palette knife, do some framing, and see what else comes up. Stay tuned for Friday!
