Summer and Busier than expected

Okay, my bad. I have not written as much or as often as I expected to. I was able to leave my McD's job and no longer have to get up at 3:15 in the morning!!! Yeah! Somehow, I thought I was going to have more time to do stuff this summer. What I forgot and my Allen pointed out, was that I still had all my regular daytime jobs. So I really only gave myself more time to sleep. Which is just what my Dr. ordered.

I have been painting as much as possible though. I began a 30 day creative challenge that I put to myself. I painted, sketched or studied something to do with my art everyday from June 1 to June 30th. It was amazing, challenging, hard work and fun at the end to see all that I created.
When I get home and have my own computer available, I will post some of the paintings.

For now, working hard, trying to find time to spend with Nieces and Nephews and just loving the fine weather we are having in the Northwest.

My Fall paint out at Samish Island is fast approaching as well as our trip to Ireland. I am re-visiting some places and visiting new ones this time around. My painting kit is being fine tuned for easy carrying and quick access for painting on-site. Allen is so awesome about making sure that I have time and opportunity to paint when we travel together. I have given myself a packing as light as possible challenge and have purchased the tiniest of suitcases. I will blog later on what I plan to pack. Cheers for now from the fast approaching 5o, kim
