Getting My Foot in the Door

                                                       AUTUMN LEAVES

Once again I find myself unemployed, but I'm not complaining... I hated my job and apparently they didn't much care for me.  So, while I am searching for that elusive perfect job I am once again taking the opportunity to submerge myself in the quirky, subjective and fascinating world of art.

Even though I didn't much care for my job in the corporate world, when I got laid off, much to my surprise I went into a mild depression.  Now some artists thrive on depression and do some of their best work, but not me.  I sat in my chair and watched endless day time t.v. for 3 months.  So in order to break out of this slump I knew I needed to get involved in an art class.  I started taking an art critique/demonstration class led by Nancy Brown and Sue Nosler Gray.  This was just the kick in the pants that I needed!  Now I can't stop painting, I'm trying new things and surprising even myself.  I'm painting for me and not trying to please anybody else.  I'm having a blast and I think it shows!


So, let me know what you think!
