Some new works

Hi, Everyone- I put up three new pictures I did while I was sitting with my mom at the hospital. They're sideways, but you get the idea. Anyway, my mom passed away, so I haven't done much recently. I hope to get back to it soon. Peace~ Continue

Update on my Mama Drama

Well, Mom was home for 2 days and then had to be hospitalized again. She came out of the first hospital with 5 different infections, so we fought to keep her in another one closer to home. That worked for about a month then she needed dialysis so she had to go back to the other hospital. We're now approaching 4 months of this. She just came out of a 12 day spell of unconsciousness. We don't know if she's dying, or getting better. My poor Dad is exhausted. He has only missed 3 days in all this ti… Continue

Checking in....

Hi, Everybody- I haven't been around because I've had a terrible time lately. I think I mentioned that my uncle passed away in Nov. Just after that, my aunt fell and broke her hip. While she was in the hospital, she fell and broke her rib. I was getting ready to go stay with her in March when she died. On my birthday, no less. We were all reeling from that when my mother had a serious accident. She got up in the middle of the night, just like my aunt, and she fell into an armoire, head first.… Continue

Turn the page - 2007 is history!

A new year is always a time of hope. 2007 was a big year for me in that I came to a new level of peace about my disability and living conditions. Not that I'm completely happy with the situation, but I can see why I am where I am and don't mind it most of the time.

Now, if I can just get some things done! I have a problem with hoarding things - books, clothes and art supplies mostly- and I have to get some kind of control of my physical environment because the state of it gets in the w… Continue

Answer to Dan's questions re: art supplies

Dan: Can you imagine a point where you have all the supplies you need? What does that look like? It looks amazing. I have all the perfect storage set up and have pretty much one of everything from the catalogs I use, with plenty of boards, paper, etc. and full ranges (within the colors that I use) of colors. Everything is neat and in order, unlike my areas now. It feels amazing to know I can do as much as I want and still have plenty of stuff left for later. Dan: What would happen i… Continue

Anybody else have this problem?

I find myself obsessing more about shopping for art supplies on line than I do about actually using them and creating new stuff. It's really a problem for me. I always feel as if I just have to have a few more things before I can get started. Anyone else? Continue

I'm stuck.

One of the reasons I joined this forum is that I feel paralyzed in terms of my creativity. I have tons of art supplies all around me, but I just can't get started. I feel as if there's no inspiration. Does anyone else here ever feel that way? Anyone take medications that make them feel disconnected? Continue

I posted a pic of the painting I sold~

The title of the pic is Swan 02 and it's in the photo section. It's 6 in x 6 in Egg Tempera on clayboard. It's sort of an iconic image for me. It's from a dream/vision I had when I was in college, and I expect to repeat this image in various forms throughout my life. I'd love feedback from y'all! Continue

I finally did it!

After 8 years or so of isolation, I finally managed to find a teacher for private art lessons. I've had two lessons so far, and it's going pretty well. It has me drawing again, which is the first step, and I hope soon I'll be painting! I'm still nervous, but at least I've started again. Continue

Please allow me to introduce myself....

Sorry - I couldn't resist the temptation to steal a line from the Rolling Stones. Since this is my first post, I thought I'd start out by telling a bit about myself. I'm in my late 40's, but I don't feel like it at all. I'm a kid at heart, and still feel like one intellectually, too. Not in a bad way, though, I just live like a teen-ager because I'm disabled. I'm in a safe, comfortable place, so I have the freedom to do what I need to do. I lived on the East Coast for about 15 years, and all m… Continue
