Did not make anything today..but I bought art supplies...I think I might have an addiction! I love, love, love art supplies. Could spend days in an art supply star.

Obama better win!!!

My post today has nothing to do with Obama...I was just hoping a search engine might find me now. I tried searching basement artist with no luck. Arrgh. what to do? Do I really care if anyone finds my blog? Honestly, yes. I am a tad embarrassed that I want an audience. I crave validation and I do not get it on the home front. I married outside of the art world and that makes it harder for to bounce ideas regarding art the need for time alone to make it. I suppose my husband feels the same way about me and sports. How I married a sport fanatic I have no idea. Don't get me wrong, I love the man, but we just come from very different worlds and sometimes it really shows.

I actually got about an hours worth of work done today. I am so excited about that fact.
I felt such peace and joy as I puttered around at my table and working on my many started projects. I feel like who I am when I am working on art, so regardless of talent I think it is something that my soul needs.
Thank you babysitter!!!!

Got absolutely nothing done today. It is hard to find the time to sit in the basement to work on things. If my supplies were near my I could just tinker with it when I had five minutes. These are all just excuses. I was not that much more productive when I had an entire room to myself with everything right there to use, and leave out for projects on the go.
I need to stop with the excuses, and work past the fear. The fear is the main problem. More on that some other time.
(Just a note: Not fear of the basement which can be creepy, but fear of making art that is crap and realizing I have no talent and it is all a big waste of time.)

Greetings!
This is my first post.
I was supposed to go to my Art club meeting tonight but it was cancelled due to inclement weather.
I am disappointed because it gets me out of the house which is really the only time I ever actually get to do any artwork. When I am home I am "mom" and never off duty. I also get lazy real quick and end up just watching television with the husband.
So this blog is incentive to really make a change and start making something every single day!
I will post some of my work soon which I feel is a good first goal.
