Time Stands Still?

Happy New Year Art Lovers!  


It's 2010!! This fact is really hitting home. Time is marching through His-story at a vaporous pace and I'm feeling my artist spirit begin to hyperventilate! During the holiday break off from school and busy work days I'm usually able to experience that amazing feeling of paint smoothing over a canvas. However, medical emergencies and moving furniture filled this one. As I reflect on 2009 I'm left with the summary of what I'm not doing in my art career.  High hopes gave way to low productivity while raising kids and funds.  So, 2010... and I begin again. Not giving up but diving in. Not sulking, but shaking my head and laughing at myself... because my kids are healthy! Thank you Jesus!  And, there's always enough food in the pantry and gas in the cars.  All I ask for this year is that time would stand still... just a little while, so that creativity might flow and finished paintings could grow so that I'd have something to show.  


If no one sees your art.... is it?
