Well it has been a while since I posted... anything! Life got to me and now I am back and plan to become more consistent in writing more art blogs! I have new goals, a new family member (Ari 2 years old), new religion (Nichiren Buddhist), and I feel like a different person. I am loving life though no matter what obstacles the universe brings to me. I find those obstacles are there to better myself.
I have been a fulltime hygienist at a really cool dental office, but still make the time to paint and enjoy my hobby as an artist. I love to challenge myself in painting, critiquing myself to always improve in my skills. This last Labor Day holiday weekend, my parents from NM drove to Tucson, AZ to go camping with us in their RV at Roosevelt Lake, AZ. It was a beautifully scenic drive and we even hit some rain on the way back home from the trip. Things didn't go as planned on the trip, but nothing is perfect. I did, however, take the time to plein air paint in the early morning while the kids were asleep! I loved it all! I did have to finish up detail work so the landscape didn't look so flat.
