In The Beginning...

So I'm going to make an effort to post at least twice a week about all my artistic (and occassionally life) happenings and misadventures. It seems that people are genuinely interested in the thought process, or lack thereof, of an artist. It would dictate then, that you dear reader are interested in my thought process. My first thought then is this: Why? Only you can answer that question since I simply don't have enough time to ponder those sorts of things.
It would seem that I have far too much on my plate for the next few months artistically speaking and I may lose the few marbles I have rolling around in my head. My first project to tackle is a piece I want to have done by April 27th for a local juried art show I've entered. It's a cutsey-poo piece (some technical artistic terminology there for you) piece of a butterfly on a flower. Cutting edge? Hardly, but the piece is difficult and will probably break me for a day or two and then it's right back on the wagon for a Pet Wellness Day event on May 6th. That and I have several commissions on the go that I should probably dedicate more time to.
So, enough with the typing and more with the drawing. I will be back to regail you with my stories in a few days.

PS- In case you were wondering purple does taste good. Many moons ago as a child I ate about half a purple crayon to see if it tasted different than the yellow crayon. It does, and it tastes better than yellow. I've said too much.

This is well past my first update but I wanted to let you know that I'm glad you're touched by my art...especially the horses.
I'm hoping to do something memorable for my "One Year Anniversary". Thanks for stopping in!
