Wow, I've been non-existent around here for a while. I need to start making time for art. New work schedule and making exercise a priority have taken up a lot of time.... no excuse though. People ask me all the time if I've been painting or drawing lately. And I'm ashamed to say that I haven't. Seems it's time for that to change.

I've been on a little bit of an art roll lately, mostly tonight. Have some watercolors in progress, one oil painting in the works, another ready to go, and even a fun acrylic waiting for some final touches. I'm trying to get a lot of stuff done and prints made so that I can hit up some art shows, to hopefully sell some work.. make some money. I'm also trying to get out of my own head these days. Unemployment leaves me too much time for thinking.. and that's not good for someone who already thinks too much. Just falling into a rut, no job = feeling purposeless. I know, i know.. I'm getting all "poor me..." I'm done now though.. that's all I'l

I'm having trouble finding motivation and inspiration these passed few days. I just uploaded two "time-filler" watercolor pieces that I did the other day.. nothing special, looks like a child did them. I have three canvases in progress at the moment... but I don't know. I have all this time now to "do art" and when I sit down to work on something... I hate the way it comes out, so I get frustrated and discouraged. Then I end up feeling like I did nothing all day.. which makes me feel like a lazy piece of shit. I'm either making excuses for just being lazy.. or I'm being too hard on myself. There's still a lot of things I need to do related
