I know that life will eventually get in the way - like when we head to NM again - which I hope will be soon. So far I'm having a great time. I worked as a secretary - the admin asst to the Director of the Library at Palomar Community College. It was a great place to work if you have to work - but I'm so glad to be able to start my real life. :o)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002238433161397308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509367681383702158.post-47312401581244952992010-06-02T08:16:13.955-07:002010-06-02T08:16:13.955-07:00Chris, It's looking good!

When I first started daily painting, I did one small painting every single day and eventually slowed down after about 6 months. Now it goes in cycles. I usually paint something every day but it's not always a small painting to sell.Sometimes it's commission work, sometimes it's for a show. The cool thing about daily painting is that it makes you SO much better. Just the act of getting out the brushes and working improves your skill so much. I still doubt myself all of the time! It just comes with the territory. You have to believe that there are millions of other artists out there selling work and yours means just as much as theirs and is just as good. And not everyone will like it, but plenty will. And don't worry about missing a day. It's about the journey, not the schedule! You go girl!Dee Sanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01139640701617587448noreply@blogger.com
