Well I've been MIA for the past couple of months, haven't I?!! Between working at Haleiwa Art Gallery and then trying to run a business at the same time, I've found my computer communications have taken a huge hit!
The other thing that has taken a hit, up until recently, has been my painting. I have discovered (or re-discovered, perhaps) that painting for a living entails ALOT more than just painting...there's checking on galleries to make sure that they are well stocked, filling orders for items in the reproduction product line, doing my book-keeping (yuck), making phone calls...well the list goes on! Somewhere in between all of that, I have to find time to do the thing that got me into all of that other stuff - painting!
After getting some major things off the to-do list, I have finally settled back into painting - and settled down into the knowledge that I'm not going to be finishing pieces as quickly anymore, and that its okay that it took me a day to figure out what I wanted to paint next -- its all just another phase in the life of Sandra Blazel, artist!
Hope your "phases" are working out for you too! Aloha!!!
