Looking back to the beginning

I've been painting today, and every time I walk into the studio
I feel as happy as I must have been when I painted this
painting.  I started blogging in 2008, and I am so grateful
to my son who helped me start the blog, and my friend who
urged me to create one. So of course I was painting before 
that, but as I've said before blogging has changed my life as an
artist -- all in positive ways.

I was interested to see that Alyson Stanfield thinks we should 
bring back blogging. I'm still enjoying it, and still enjoying 
people's reactions.

Here's a bit of the story behind this:
"My model came into the kitchen, sat down and had some
chocolate cake that Steven had just baked, and that was that.
A painting was born."

Have a loving your life day!
