Oh Well....

Wednesday is my studio day. I like to devote my whole day to art if I can. Yesterday I found it difficult. I was very distracted for some reason. And the creative flow was elusive. I eked out two drawings, for what they are worth. It's ok though. I have learned not to think of it as a permanent condition. In yoga, you learn to accept the poses for what they are from day to day. This is especially important as you grow older because some days are better than others. This is true for art as well. Some days are better. I made the most of it for what it was, and that is the way it is. Today is a new day full of potential. It is my job to reach for it and be joyful in the process. Even if that means pain. Pain means you are alive!

This is Great!

So now I have found yet another way to share my art and my life. Ten years ago I was struggling to think of ways to market my artwork and getting very fustrated because there didn't seem to ever be enough time or money. And now with the flick of my wrist, 'Alohomora!' The way is opened with this lovely new medium of blogging. Ok, so it's not so new. It took me a while to get on this bandwagon, but here I am and I hope that people will enjoy my musings and my art. Blessed Be!
