I didn’t think I’d make it to this birthday. Last year, awaiting cancer treatment, I was so unsure if the upcoming 2018 Christmas would be my last. Now I get to stay around and make art for the next fifty years! This is gonna be a strange and wonderful week as I try to let the possibilities of my future sink in. It’s a good time to reflect. I don’t want to live my life the way I have the last ten years, waiting and wondering. I want to…
So, starting today, my birthday, I’m gonna do just that. Live my life with happiness and color. I’m so grateful to be here and I can’t wait for my future to present itself. I wonder what comes next? I’m excited to find out.
I’ve been spending a lot of time doing a lettering course (as you can see with the above sign, lol). And yay, it’s working! I’m thrilled to be adding another skill to my repertoire. One wouldn’t want to stagnate. I’ll be back soon with art. I’ve been stocking it up. There’s an oil pastel that’s something like 12 x 16 and several watercolors. I’ve really missed my colored pencils so I want to find some time for those too. Ahhh, there’s never enough hours in the day and have a lot to blog.
Join me on instagram to follow my progress with lettering and other stuff. Later gator!
