Sunday

Even when not painting, I am still continually working... working on my craft... whether it be researching or working on my course outline for new classes I am facilitating this year, submitting applications for art shows and juried competitions, updating my website, admin and filing, getting my taxes in order, teaching art, drawing odd sketches of freaky ideas or reading yet another art magazine, I am always working towards getting things going, moving on to the next painting project. All good... all good.

Family

I enjoyed seeing my cousin Terry today... sometimes you just need someone who would listen and just "be" with you. Wished sometimes we lived closer, but again, I guess this distance makes our visits more special. She is not only a cousin, but pseudo sister and someone I would consider a best friend, all rolled into one.

Winter Olympics - Vancouver 2010

It is fun and exciting to watch all the winter sports... I get energized and motivated by all the energy in competition, Canada working hard to being # 1 in the world. What determination and dedication these athletes have and working endlessly to be the best that they can be!!! So far, I have counted 3 Gold, 3 Silver, 1 Bronze for Canada and it is only week 1! All these, inspire me to be a better artist, to work on ideas that have been swirling in my head for years, months, days...

Started 3 new paintings this week, and the goal is to get my ideas down on canvas. Gotta chase that gold!
