still painting

Wow, I can't believe that it has been since Nov since I last blogged. I have really neglected this. I however, have not been neglecting my art. I have been painting more and trying my best to doodle as much as possible. I still have many ideas that I have yet to execute but feel like I have been growing within my talents and feel like I am finding my way.

I made a lovely painting for my niece Eva's first birthday (it was May 3rd) and I completed the piece in 3-4 days. I was so proud of myself, especially because I really loved the finished product. It didn't feel rushed, or contrived, and I got a lot of positive feedback. It felt so good to give my niece some of my art because I feel like it is the most personal part of myself and it is always created with love, excitement and passion. I also gave her another smaller painting I made a few months ago, and also completed in a short time (maybe 2 weeks). I need to get a better picture of it to upload and share!

So, I feel like I just have to keep on keepin' on with my art, and keep trying new things and generating new ideas.
