It’s
almost 1am and we’re in the midst of a blizzard, or so the weather
reports tell me. Well, that’s being a tad dismissive, we’ve got another
12 hours of snow to go, but so far I’m not seeing mountains and
mountains of snow. The wind is howling, snow is drifting and even my
dogs don’t want to go outside. Right now I’m regretting that 6pm cup of
coffee.

I’ve
spent the day sipping hot hot tea in an effort to unclog my sinuses
which finally appear to be on the mend. i’m not sure if it’s the hot tea
or the buffalo chicken fingers I ordered from the local pizza place
that I should credit. Maybe it’s time, who knows. I’m starting to feel
physically better. My sleep cycle is all kinds of messed up. I’m awake
when I should be asleep and sleeping when I should be awake. Of course,
that 6pm cup of coffee that tasted oh so good as the snow

I
spent some time reflecting on my art journals today while listening to
some good music. I flipped through the last year’s worth of my art
journals. I’ve got some good stuff recorded. I’m missing some notes I
took on business cards that held a lot of good class ideas. But overall,
I liked what I saw. I made a lot of progress artistically. My ability
to capture a lifelike and emotional portrait increased 10 fold. i’m
proud of the work I’ve done. I’m excited for the art show I’ll have in
August. This year holds a lot of potential for me.

The
thing is, it’s all up in the air right now. I’m not sure how things are
going to land but I’m sure it’ll be in the way it should be for me.

The
last few days have been interesting in that it’s revealed some artistic
and art journaling truths to me that I had previously not know or had
ignored. These will be shared here over time.
