life, the universe…

So, I started the blog and then it’s taken me months to write another post. I swore I would be dedicated to this endeavor. Yet, here my poor blog sits ever so neglected. Well I have a lot of excuses as to why, but if I had updated the blog as I said I would, I probably would have found it cathartic and not another bit of drudgery. But, I like to run away from my emotions, and I couldn’t face what was happening.

The year started off horribly. First, my Aunt passed away on New Year‘s day after a battle with brain cancer. Then my father suffered a massive stroke a few days later. This has been one of the most difficult times in my life. It had been such a journey for the entire family. My Dad has not gotten much better than when he had the stroke. We had hoped he would regain some use of his right side and his speech. But, six months later there has not been much improvement. He understands a lot of what we say, but cannot really respond. He tries, but the words just don’t come out. I cannot express how frustrating and horrible it is to see someone you love be struck with this.

I really need to find a way to gain control of me and my time again. I have been scattered here and there, and then I expect to make a logical schedule for myself. I have a hard time creating art when I am all over the place, It’s difficult to carry my supplies with me, but I do carry my sketchbook with me everywhere and I try and be record as many ideas as I can. Sometimes, I am just so tired and think that I’ll remember later. That almost never works for me and I am left frustrated to recapture that specific incredible idea as if that is the best idea I have every had!! (I am a bit obsessive) Funny, I think the sketchbook is actually giving me back some control of my life that I need. I feel like although I am all over the place, I am doing the best I can to record what I need. This way when I find a way to focus better I will still have my ideas to work with. My sketchbook is my own little universe that I can enter anytime.

Hello world!

I am finally starting to blog! I started a blog on blogger, but so far I’ve only posted a picture. That was a year ago! Yikes!

I am never sure what to write about. This blog is dedicated to my ideas and creative processes. Pretty much the stuff that makes me who I am and where I get my creative notions and why I create art.

I’m looking forward to the adventure.
