Out of the Studio

Update

Even tho, I am out of the studio...

It is impossible 

NOT TO FIND TIME FOR 

ART

***

Yes

I am taking a break...

Just not from 

who I am or what a love!

makes sense, right?

***

I have found it almost impossible

  not to want to  

create some art

post pictures

keep in touch with my followers

visit the sites and blogs I adore

and

share my vacation... my life.

Taking this trip has allowed me to

reflect

relax

regroup

***

In the end...

I love that I can say, "I'm an artist!"

Yes...

I gave up my dead-end jobs...

worked hard at making a living.

I walked around like a zombie...

being numb as a way of survival.

Became an Art Teacher...

taught others, through the years

 The 7-Elements of Art...

and

loved every minute of it!

Then...

I made my 2nd 

biggest decision

in my career.

Decided to...

leave the classroom

say goodbye to my students

and 

work on me!

***

Nurture my creative soul.

Take a walk on 

the wild side... as scary as it may be,

and invest in myself.

Believe in myself 

and 

my artistic abilities.

To grow...

 to be challenged in my skills...

just as my students were.

To be confident...

this is who I am

and where I need to be

in my life.

 To share my talents...

with like-mined others

and

to live the rest of my life out...

As an artist.

How about you?

Are you listening to your inner voice...

I think I hear it calling you.
