I've been wanting to paint for a while, every day it seems, but life and
work always get in the way... sometimes I just can't stand it and will
paint something that I have made just to fulfill that craving... I can't
seem to find time to pull out my easel though.
You know, I might just have to today...
My
son went to camp yesterday, and while we were driving to and from we
were able to see what the recent rains brought to our arid region...
bodies of water that normally would be fields of corn, cotton, or
sorghum! What a treat! I didn't get a good picture, since I'm not
driving... I can't just stop the car and take pics like I normally
would... that and we were running a bit tight on schedule...
but I was able to take a few pics on the way home of some sunflowers... that would make a beautiful painting, but I really wanted to capture the water that we saw... and I came acros this article today, how timely!

So, I visited the site and thought, wow... I need to get my paints out!
I
really want to, but I know in my heart that I will just pine away and
want to paint and just never do it unless I make myself...
I always say that I crave oil paint... and I think it is addictive... the smell, the feel, and the 'high' you get when you are creating... it is a drug for me!
OK, I've talked myself into doing it... just step away from the computer... take a break on working on jewelry, and remember that I don't have to make dinner tonight... and I'm going out onto my back porch and setting up my easel!!!
