I'm taking a small hiatus - not well deserved - unintentional - but necessary. Once again I'm cleaning the STUDIO, located in the garage. But it's more than just cleaning and throwing out trash - this time I'm changing my whole direction. With working full time, I can't devote myself to painting/mixed media/collage, etc. I lose focus if I can't stay with a painting for hours at a time. So I'm boxing, or rather plastic binning, the mixed media painting supplies. Until time allows, maybe when I retire again, I'm going to focus on illustration - particularly - children's picture book art. I've always had a passion for picture books and have dabbled in it for years - but never seriously or as a single focus. This is a good time to give it a go. I already have a library of reference books - no surprise there!

Judy,
ReplyDeleteGood Luck and God Bless on whatever you work on or do not work on I kind of been feeling the same way a lot lately just do not have the passion to work a full-time/overtime
job then try to create something.
I found this weird new invention called a T.V. they put pictures and voices inside of it and you watch it, it is very weird. I heard about this thing about 15 years ago but never really got to try one out till this year.:0)!
Take Care
Sincerely
Paul Kasmir
P.S. Maybe another Courage book around the corner for you:0)
Good luck. Hope the new direction satisfies your creative urges and brings much joy.
