What do they say about best laid plans? well, after finishing her, I was eager to continue with a little flower fairy. I was so excited to get home from work and paint, and then life happened. One of those unexpected things that you need to take care of, which took my entire night and left me mentally exhausted...unfortunately it carried on throughout this past week. It's so easy to want to give up sometimes, or to just sit in front of the tv and relax after work. That's the easy way out. I'm tired of taking that road, because I have very little to show for last year, and I'm still pissed at myself for my lack of discipline. This year must be different, I need to push through the distractions, and the lack of motivation, and at least do something every day.
Otherwise what is the point? I know I'm not alone in this, as many artist suffer from the same thing. I feel for you working moms out there, it must be hard fitting in time for yourself when everyone else is screaming their share.
So, I will paint, tonight, don't care how late it is, but once I finish this post I will work on the fairy- or whatever else may show up. You can't always choose what characters will appear in your art!
On a happier note, I am a certified art supply junkie, I love supplies, can't get enough! and now that Amazon has a really good selection of stuff, it's very dangerous for someone like me, especially when I'm bored and wasting time on the computer, lol! someone on Facebook happened to mention some Posca paint markers at a good price, and there I was, clicking 'buy now, lol!
These beauties in this pic were just delivered to me, most of them are Ranger products I got on sale, and being absent minded I ordered the same color ink pad! oh, and I thought I was getting a bargain with those distress ink pads in front, but note the size of them, they are munchin sized!! hey at least I didn't pay much for them, that will teach me to click without reading the small print.
If you have a Michaels close by, they have the spring bargain section out, and I got those two cute writing pads in the back right side of the photo...the new spring line is adorable! I picked up some greeting cards as well, and of course more scrapbooking paper as you can never have enough.
I'm off to play with my new paints, thanks for reading!
stay creative!

I think many artists suffer from time management. I do at times. Love your work, so cut yourself a break. Also, can't wait to see what you do with your new "art toys". Keep on being that art junkie if it inspires you!!!
Don't kick yourself with not creating! It just happens my friend! You will create when you are suppose to create! Maybe with the standing still, you were more upset about? Not doing anything? Take it one day at a time and remember, always love yourself! You do that and everything else flows! I love your new painting! She is precious! I am trying not to buy anything new for art supplies! LOL! I have been so good! But, I might have to get some paint!!!!! I know, I still have to e-mail you! Sorry! I will promise! Trying to catch up in blog land, then deactivate Facebook and finish some art up! But, I promise, I will! Hugs!
