Added into that mix I am taking an online class Get Your Paint On . It starts today and I am looking forward to fun and inspiration from the teachers and other students. 

I’ve also been playing with photos that remind me that eventually spring will arrive and I will have flowers in my garden.

I also had the pleasure of meeting Gail and Beth, two artists getting started on the art licensing journey. We had emailed back and forth and it was good to meet them in person.

So much to process, lots of follow up to work on with the contacts I made. I have new ideas brewing and  I am back in my studio putting ideas on paper, working on follow up and I am also……

thinking about warmer weather because we are still in the deep freeze here in the South and I really am not a cold weather person. I am ready for a  little bit of sunshine and the first blooms of spring. Spring is on the way

Of course, that could be because I have been on the road traveling from home to Texas, back home, back to Texas on to Arkansas and now back home. Since the end of January I have been on the go and have experienced weather changes on the road from North Carolina to Texas to Arkansas to North Carolina. Spring happened while I was on the road and upon arriving home this week it looks like it has been around for a while. However, that is ok since spring is my favorite season, and I certainly am happy to see warm weather, green grass, blooming trees and flowers dotting the landscape. The cold dreary days of winter are gone and now I can come out of hibernation.

My goals for licensing my art haven’t changed…just have had a few delays in my progress.  All of this traveling has made me even more aware of how much I want to create art. The trips were necessary, I’m glad I could go and because I am an artist I took my art with me…maybe didn’t get as much accomplished as I would have liked; however, even sitting and doodling is progress for me. Doodling seems to lead me to new design ideas and keeps my mind connected to my art.

Hope your spring brings creative activities and lots of wonderful sunshine!

Spring »»]]> Just around the corner…sooner than we think…blooms will appear on the trees and flowers will spring up in all their glory and I will be happy! Spring is my favorite season. We have begun shaking off the short days of winter that have given little sunshine and been filled with cold, rain, snow and sleet. Spring brings relief from the wintery blast and the earth begins to live again with bright, beautiful color with longer and warmer days. The promise of new life is enough to make me sing!

So…I will bloom with renewed vigor…planting seeds and flowering plants in my little flower garden. And…I continue to plant new designs into my portfolio of hope!

Enjoy the sunshine when it arrives…

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~ Charles Dickens
