I am looking forward to attempting to do some art again. After rolling a vehicle, and while still healing from that, I suffered whiplash again, and also two serious falls. Without going into details this was a serious set back for me and my family. I am still in recovery, but each month gets better. So even though the synapses in my brain haven't worked the same as before my accidents I am looking forward to retraining my brain so that I can enjoy art again.
Today I took the big plunge!
I decided about a month ago to get a subscription to From My Point Of View, or the Colored Pencil Magazine. June 1st was a member show entry deadline. I think everything was warring against doing anything. With a few curve balls this past week, and even a couple new ones today, I was about to set aside a couple hours only today to try to get something recognizable. End product isn't exactly what I had in mind, but at least you know what it is when you see it! So that was a big step for me. So.....I am sending it off next! If nothing else, I hope that people can enjoy seeing this small 4 x 5 1/2 inch piece.
This is a first BIG step for me after the last 5 years. So if you think you cannot do it, nor never have a second chance, I am here to remind you...take the first giant step! You never know where the next one will lead you. Wipe the tears away and just do it!
And a special thanks to those that have been an encouragement in this process. Including, but not limited to Anne and also my friend Laurie.
