work in progress!

so i am painting a stuffed animal tea party painting for a co-worker's daughter...it's been a long process of waiting to start, saving funds, me painting, waiting for the saving funds haha, which hasnt been the best motivator. i seem to work best if i have a deadline in place and can bang it out by then...because now it's a "whenever i can get to it" kind of project and i dont like that...i want to be able to get it done and be happy with it and move on...so this weekend im going to try to work more on it and bring it closer to completion

i have been a bad blogger

i truly find it hard sometimes to keep up with everything, 40 hours of work to pay the bills, attempting to exercise and spend time with friends or boyfriend, trying to get art projects done, thinking about future art projects, facebook, zazzle, etsy, and the blog just seems to fall behind everything else....sooo im going to try and see if i can keep up with it a little better, but sometimes i wonder, is anyone out there reading this anyways?
sorry
love, the art goddess

Probably the STRANGEST commission I have ever been asked to do, but I did it :) and he loved it.

bad blogger

ive been a very bad blogger- got a new 21.5" iMac :) haven't sorted out losing all my bookmarks and such to get back on track with my regular internet haunts...more to come- just finished another drawing this weekend, pics posted asap!

motivation

Motivation is a funny thing, some days I am full of artistic motivation and still get nothing done. Procrastination is the bane of my existence. I have 2+ commissions to complete and am totally broke so you'd think that I would be on top of making art like white on rice, but alas...im not-  do you ever get this way? I have today off and all I can think about is going to checkout new glasses that I may purchase, getting some exercise, packing for my moms and driving tonight, notice the lack of art time saved in there? I need to draw and prep a canvas - guess I should get off here and start doing things right? :)
