Today I bought a red t-shirt. Yep. I ......bought...... a .....RED t-shirt. Holy cow. Red. Next thing you know I'll be buying something crazier like yellow. Well, maybe not yellow with my Goldilocks, but perhaps green. Yes. Green is next. You see folks, I am feeling outside of my box these days. The creative juices are in overdrive. Yep. A turbo BMW can't keep up with this cool chick. And it's super fun I tell ya to be THIS EXCITED about how you are living. I went to sleep last night dreaming of little girls under umbrellas and by golly today I painted those little girls in rain boots under umbrellas! You see, this race, well it's not as huffy and puffy as I'd feared. And your encouragement along the way is VERY appreciated and noted. And I pinkie promise once all these paintings are done and in the car I am going to visit ALL your blogs and comment. I'm going to comment till my fingers say no more! Because our little circle is indeed a family I hold onto so tightly. And cherish and love this blog. Oh boy do I. It's a saving grace. Knowing you are out there reading and hearting my work, well it keeps me running. Yep. Double yep. I really wish you could here me say that. Yep. Actually in person I'd probably say "Hey Ya'll" and give you a giant hug.(imagine a sweet southern drawl with it, can't help it...I am from Alabama originally you know.) So here's a sneaky peeky at a fun new work that may have inspired the red tee:
So, I'll be back in the middle of the week. I need to unplug and focus before delivering paintings Friday morning. I hope you have a great weekend and look forward to seeing you later this week!

You go girl......My girlfriend was over and I had her read your blog....as this reminded us both of the sixty(each) one of kind chalk boards me and another girlfriend did in two weeks for a big show. The energy and the excitement is so amazing. So we toasted you with a glass of wine and look forward to seeing your work.....as my husband always reminds me it's the journey.....
Cheers,

Woo Hoo! I can feel the love and excitement in your words. You go girl for sure. Painting looks great! Is the shirt the same shade of red? Yum!
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I came home from work tired but now I am going to go paint. The red bike is so cheerful, keep up the great work! I can't wait to see the girls in rainboots.
I think I need a new red shirt!!!

Just caught up on your last three posts... Congrats on the shows and good luck with getting all those paintings done! You know I'm rootin' for ya!
i think that responding to what you feel in your heart to paint is a very special part of creating. i can't wait to see the "little girls in rain boots under umbrellas." have a great weekend.
Hi from Australia!!! i just found your blog..today..right this exact minute in fact! Just wanted to say i love your beautiful work and thank you for sharing it with the world :) ...amanda x
Your words about encouragement ring so true. I'm sure you'll get everything done with time left over. It's obvious that you have a goal and...you've stepped outside of your comfort zone. It's going to be a busy week :)
sounds like you are in a great place at the moment...and yellow! well I've never been a big fan of yellow but it is creeping into my art and I'm starting to fall in love with it. our colors change just like us!
Love the bikes ... so cool! I read your past few posts as well. Good luck with the show and I hope that you will post pics of your finished pieces on display. I feel so inspired to paint now!
Thanks to you I whipped out some black gesso for the first time the other day and created a new mixed media piece. Thanks for the inspiration!
