Contemporary Painting Driving the Sunny Boulevard

Hey!  I'm back, I know, it has been so long since I have posted a painting.  All is fine here.  Just getting through this cold and snowy winter.  I have not been able to paint.  I would try and it just didn't flow.  I tried painting through it, but my heart just wasn't there.  So, I took a break.  It is kind of funny to see what happens after not painting for a while.  It kind of looks like someone hijacked my blog because this painting is a bit different for me.  It is all a process and blogging is such a cool way to record an artist's journey.  I hope to get back on a roll, I miss blogging and I miss the interaction with so many great people out there in the blogoshere.

The new year is off and running.  The older I get the more I appreciate trying to live in the moment and not rush through things too much, to embrace today, even if it is full of the mundane.  Tomorrow will be here soon enough.  Things have been hectic and I have not painted much.  It has made me frustrated that I haven't been painting daily, but I will find a balance soon.  I hope the new year is finding you well.  Cheers!
