Inspired!!!

A few weeks ago Austin held a free museum day and I journeyed into the depths of traffic hell to visit a few.

I went to the Blanton


And the Bob Bullock

After this half day journey I came home inspired to work on the painting I've been working on since mothers day - the 5' x 4' one....

Last weekend I went camping on Mustang Island

And again I came back inspired to work on the massive canvas...


and this is where I am now. The colors are actually day glow and are more vibrant than the photo shows.

There are days that I want to call in sick at my real job and paint all day but unfortunately the paintings are not paying the bills.
:(

Painting really is my escape from the BS of everyday life and one day I will live on the beach and paint until I can't hold the brush any longer.

For now it will provide me with short respites from the drudgery of everyday life.
I will hold onto these moments and treasure them with my every breath for now because they are all I have that keeps my sanity in check.

Until I post again....
