Walking in the dark in the wee hours of the morning to get to my studio where I can turn a light on and illuminate my visions on paper is a marvelous feeling. The quiet of the early mornings are the most peaceful time of the day. The artwork comes alive and sparks new and exciting nuances with every stroke of my paintbrush. The new series I have been working on is one I am very pleased to share with everyone, however, I must wait patiently until they are ready. My posts have been slow as well as these blogs for the sole reason of creation time. The morning has turned into my favorite time to be with my thoughts and start the day off with joy as well as gratitude. Do any of you have a certain time of the day where you are the most productive? As a mom, it used to be whenever I had a tiny moment. I am grateful to have now carved this time out for myself and am hoping it continues so I can bring beautiful paintings to life for all of you to enjoy.
I mention in my Newsletter about the new series I have been working on. I also give sneak peaks of the paintings I am producing if any of you would like to sign up for the Newsletter. Here is the link or you can find it at the bottom of my homepage on my website. I try to send them out via email on the first of every month. If the first falls on a wonky day, or a painting is not ready, I send them out the following week. This being written, I will send the next one out this August and I am overjoyed for you all to see the new piece! I sometimes have coupons for the Newsletter people only, and this is where I have the most information about what is new with my artwork. As for finding time to paint…the morning, and anytime I get a moment, are my most treasured times. It is just lovely to get my thoughts down and watch the world inside my head come to life on the paper in front of me. Have a wonderful weekend and I hope to see new sign ups on the Newsletter!!
Thank you for reading!
