*The Artist in Me

The last painting that I finished is my "Sea Nymph In Blue Major." I call it that way since I was supposed to make it in blue monochrome but later decided to add very contrasting colors of red and yellow above the figure of the nymph. I finished it in a month's time last 2007, a very relaxed phase. Then, I stopped painting.

Last year while having extra money (just a little money) to spend for my eternal list of off-and-on hobbies, I found again the impulse to paint. With the remaining not-so-dry acrylic paints I still got, I found my way painting or struggling to paint 3 jars in different sizes and shapes on a canvas. Then after putting the base color of brown, I stopped painting again.

It's just a few weeks ago that I again picked up my paints and paint brushes to try and finish painting the jars on my canvas, thanks to my hot boring afternoons and the need to do something worthwhile while impregnated... Please don't get me wrong, I love having this preggy bump and the months of waiting for the baby to come out. It's the idleness that I can't stand and so this led me to paint again, and maybe stop again. I don't know, who knows what tomorrow brings. All I know now is the artist in me is just around and always ready for me when I call on it. :-)
