hello world

Was searching for images of birds, for a new painting I plan to do...and 'Geninne's art blog' caught my eye. Got sucked into going through all her art...and before I knew it I was signing myself up for my own blog. I am now instantly regretting putting myself out there like that...what will all kinds of weirdos and stalkers out there in cyberspace. But am excited to try this at the same time. If I keep up with this blog, you will find that I frequently yo-yo from one extreme to the other and drive myself crazy. I feel like Alice as she was entering the looking glass. I apparently can always see both sides of a picture and that can be crazy making when it comes to making a decision. But apparently I have already put myself out there by starting this blog, and so I shall continue. I squarely blame my piscean heritage for this indecision. You know how Pisces have two fish swimming in opposite directions? well...that explains everything.

I have largely drifted from the topic (pun intended) of introducing myself and the point of this blog. I am an artist with dreams of having a beautiful art studio crammed with curios and curious objects from lands far and near. Quaint art and exciting finds from yard sales....a lovely meadow and gurgling stream outside it and a perpetual sunny day with a high of 75 and a low of 70. As it happens, my studio is currently a converted room, that I have been informed I am 'sharing' with my 5 year old son. It is filled with the mundane tech necessities of the day...computer, scanner, printer etc. However, in my mind I am in that cozy studio, uninterrupted (for a few hours at least....even in my fantasies I can't hope for more) working on a mess of art.

I hope to share some of my scraps of art and musings and would love to hear from you!
