above water

I have been getting really good about keeping my head above water. There are several shows that I would like to apply to. Lots of other things out in the distance that I want to do - need to do - hope that I have the energy to do. Currently I feel like I am only able to accomplish what is necessary to keep my head above water but not enough to move forward. Summer seems like it will bring relief and with it an opportunity to finish unpacking and settling into my office, a must for me. I spent long and good quality hours in my studio over break and have recently enjoyed some acrylic painting - a first for me. I miss having these creative times more often although in some ways they are much richer as they are more prized and harder won.

Welcome

Part of a half witted new year's resolution of mine is to blog.

I suppose making it is half of the battle.

here is to new - and trying it.
