When time flies no ART is created....


I really do understand the term "artists block" now....never did before. For as long as I remember I have needed to create on a daily basis, anything really from drawing with my children, doodling on junk mail while on the phone or a 10x20 canvas painting. These last 3 months the need is gone :( I am afraid it will never come back...
The water leak and kitchen remodeling project is partly to blame I know.... the studio is now a sort of storage ground for boxes with pots and pans, spices and grandmas old china. It is a mess and I don't even want to go in there. The laptop is downstairs at the kitchen table these days.. 
My biggest worry is that I don't draw and write in my art journals....at all...they just lay there and wonder what on earth they did wrong. 
Have you ever suffered from "artists block" ? if so let me know....I need help I think...

Hard to recover....


I would love to go back to Laguna Beach and find the spot where I took this picture....life seemed easy then before all the set backs this year. It is hard to recover from loosing all data on your laptop and the "need" I usually have to create is long gone. 

My blog is weak and I don't visit all my favorite blogs like I used to. All this whining drives me  crazy but it is hard to just snap out of it. We hope to have the kitchen floors installed on Monday and Tuesday.... to be able to install the new stove, dishwasher will be a dream.

I just can't wait to cook again (one of my big passions). We have been without a kitchen and living in a disaster doing dishes in the bathroom for 3 months now and I am just so DONE with it. The kitchen sink will take a little longer to get installed since we have beautiful wood counters that need to be sealed. 

One day soon I will post pictures of the finished kitchen and hardwood floors throughout the downstairs.  Perhaps before Christmas :)


Hope you have a nice day :)

NEW ART for SALE on eBay


Some FUN NEW ART for SALE on eBay...
 

 
All created on either stretched canvas or heavy watercolor paper...this one "A rainy day" is covered with a shiny acrylic medium... looks wet and I love it...
 
 
Seems like I have birds on the brain lately...

There are some more pieces on eBay as well I just did not post them here. They are all listed at super low starting bids so don't wait.
I can't stand it when blogger changes their user interface :( I don't have a clue how to use it now. Grump, grump. Probably changed to make it easier but I am so use the old way... 

What else is new??? I have not posted for weeks and still do not have a kitchen, the remodeling is taking foooreeeeveeer. My daughter is back in school and I am supposed to be writing up more art lesson plans but... since I lost all data on my laptop I am a little slow with this. Still hoping and praying that they will find some data "leftovers" on the old hard drive. It was supposedly found in Texas at some HP tech support site. I have been on hold with HP tech support on the phone with  India every day for over a week trying to locate the hard drive since it was not supposed to have been removed or replaced. The repair was supposed to be only on the video card. Now I deal with some people saying it was shipped to me and some say it is being worked on at some unknown location. I just want my data back :(

Other than that I did go and by some canvas today and feel like painting. This is a brand new feeling I have not had all summer so if I actually open the door to the studio I am on the right path. Never knew that artists block was an actual "thing"...
