Wow, this is a little daunting. I keep getting a visual of me in an endlessly large room, speaking to the emptiness, wondering if anyone is there. I can almost hear the silence whisper. Then I think…
“silly woman, just talk to yourself, then! You do that all the time anyways, lol.”
I wonder how difficult this will be, learning to let go and do what I love? Maybe some background will help you Grok* me better.
“Well, if you want to paint, then just PAINT, silly!”
So, I’m taking your advice, I’m going to paint, throw caution to the wind, skwoosh all that fear into my glass box and slam the door closed!
NO MORE FEAR.
I’m going to paint… and breathe. Ya, that’s what I’m gonna do. Paint and breathe. :o)

I cannot tell you how beautiful I find your cakes. Wow! What a vision I saw this morning. You are very talented and should have NO trouble putting brush to canvas; believe me.
Get to it, and let's see some more beauty!

Those are amazing cakes. From what I have seen of your painting and blog I love what you have created so far. I'm now one of your followers and I'm enjoying all of your "silly" blogs. 😉

I totally understand your urge to find another creative outlet, and I know this isn't really the point of your post but I just wanted to say how brilliant your cakes are! I'm planning my wedding at the moment and I've looked at hundreds of cakes and yours are among the most beautiful I've seen

Oh my gosh your cakes are so lovely I can't stand it. And if that isn't even what you most want to do…I can't imagine the beauty of what you'll paint once you fully have your whole heart in it! Inspiring.

Hellooo Jennifer ….long time no comments … I've been overwhelmed (perhaps your University degree will shed some light on a statment like that – but hey don't charge me okay? LOL… Good to see you are still bloggin and painting… You are still my cake hero you know? The first real cold-porcelain flower artist I meet – and still my favorite…. I'm pleased you are enjoying the painting though… it is good you are doing something you enjoy…
Us artsy people are our best when we are creating – you just gotta let it out or it swells up inside you and comes out in very strange places – you know like when you line up the cans in your cupboard in a different color combination and say to yourself hey that is a combination of tertiay colors but I wonder if it would have more zing if I added a dollop of … well you know what I mean…
So you still doing a cake or two here and there? I've got a couple but back to work full-time with the left side of my brain – generates more income but not nearly as much fun! Someday perhaps… Sent my son to the kootenay mts region to learn stone mason work …. sounds like a little bit of "mexico in BC area?" time is different there apparently and us people from Saskatchewan think we are the only ones in Canada with a "time" to call our own apparently there is kootney time – not quite like millertime (beer) but close… LOL… anyway I better stop my blabbering and let someone else tell you how amazing your paintings are… Keep up the creativity girl … you are GREAT….
(smile) Come to Saskatchewan some time K?
