Yeppers. This tiny baby girl came into my life. Now she is a beautiful woman, ready to welcome a new soul into her own life. She's managed to be all those things that many thought that I should have been, despite having been given me as her parent.
This year, my life changed again. I discovered love in a different way. I decided to BE the artist that I always have been, to accept all the rejections in my life as mere training for that to come.
But I could not have done it without the love and accomplishments of my children. They are my heroes.
They taught me happy love.

I love to paint. I love the feel of the ink as I transfer the stories of our lives on these paths that have revealed themselves to me.
I had been encouraging (and chiding) my son to venture into the art realm with his B & W photography works. He turned that around on me, noting that I continue to create works, yet do nothing with them.
Surely financial gain is of consideration. I truly would just give them all away to those that admire my interpretations of the world. Some people write these stories, I paint them. I do not care for fame, only that the owner that chooses to hang one of my works is inspired or entertained or simply finds beauty in adding these shapes to their walls.
So here I am, getting my feet wet in this world of selling and marketing art. I will slowly make it up to my thighs, then go ahead and take the plunge, perhaps wondering why I did not do so from the outset.
