Finally finished the painting of my son. Now I have to come up with another idea. Hmmm…
How I did it: My boyfriend bought me this awesome table-top easel with a load of paints and materials so that's what got me motivated ! So i've started my own little project thing and i'm loving it:) woop!

I’m working on a new painting of my son playing in his jumperoo. Hopefully I’ll have it done this week.

I’m starting to be able to do this now…I went through some pretty hard stuff last year and was too distracted by things to paint. But since then I’ve had a baby and quit my job to be a stay-at-home mom and I’m finding more time to paint.

I’m not making any progress on this goal at the moment, which is just so annoying and terrible because I have so much free time on my hands. Why do I forget that I love drawing? Once I get into it, I can draw all day. So, what I need is smaller goals;
- Make one sketch a day. It can be of anything; people in magazines or objects around the house. Start with pencil/pen drawings.
One sketch a day might not sound like much, but I need to ease myself in gently so that I can actually make some progress. Because i’m so damn lazy. I really want to build up a load of sketches and paintings and improve my skills. Starts today!

There are so many people in this world who have a natural talent at something but their lives are so busy and complicated that they never really have the chance to pursue and enjoy their talent as much as they would like to. My dad, for example, has an amazing artistic talent (a talent which i’m so glad I inherited!) but because we have a family business, all of his time is taken up with keeping it running smoothly..so, he never has time to do anything, let alone his own personal gift of drawing so well. I think that’s really sad. People say to me “That’s life, that’s the way it is”, but why should it have to be? I think it’s very important to take time out of our busy lives and do the things we enjoy/are good at. Which is why drawing and painting more is one of my life goals. Since I left school, I hardly ever paint or draw, which makes me sad because it is my favourite thing to do. I need to buy new art materials, which I think will motivate me to achieve this goal…
and it was fun. I’m gonna put in in my room when I go back to school in the fall. yea!
Eversince I was a little kid, I learned to love paintbrushes, sketch pads, pencils, and crayons. In other words, I’m an inborn artlover when it comes to that stuff…
Now I have only little time to draw since at present I write more because of my journalism affiliation at school…
Because of my Humanities subject, I’ve learned to give a little of my time back to paintbrushes. I’ve also discovered that I haven’t yet lost that talent of mine. Perhaps when one loves to do something, that attitude to do that something will never be lost forever.
It’s in my blood. I’ve a set of paintbrushes at home that Ihaven’t used for a long time. Months ago, I took them out and started painting a coffee mug. And mind you, I love it sooo much! :)
