Let me just say...I am one happy camper.  Back to my brushes.  

"Some people never go crazy.  What truly horrible lives they must lead."  - Charles Bukowski

Seeing a lot of family members the last couple of days and it has been great!  Today I hope to get my brushes in hand, but I have hurt my shoulder and although I rested on a heating pad and took some pain killers last night...it's still hurting today.  We'll see how the day progresses.  It doesn't help that it is 14 degrees outside and I sit by a window to paint.  I don't think being cold will help the situation.  My current painting is calling me though, and I miss its company.  Back to my brushes.

"It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it."  - Amelia Barr

Oh how I love the feel of the brush in my hand.  I spent the last two days on a new study and I am happy to be immersed in my favorite endeavor.  My new palette is a joy and a wonder and I am still learning new combinations that flip my switch.  Yep, that's right, flip my switch.  So I am figuring this one out as I go along.  Back to my brushes.

"Pretending to know everything closes the door to finding out what's really there."  - Neil Degrasse Tyson

A small hiatus from the blog, but now I am back.  I have a couple of paintings that are either in the works or ready to start.  What am I working on...let me see, another in the Revolutions series, another in the Measure series, a completely off topic painting about a dream that woke me up (weird right?).   I am happy to begin anew in 2016 and look forward to the many challenges that develop.   Back to my brushes.
