QUIT PAINTING? NO WAY!

In March, I picked up my brushes and painted again after a 6-month rest.  But after working on "The Red Boat", I had to put my painting stuff away because of family visits, a beach vacation, and house guests. 

I'm sort of back to my old routine now but I still have to sit down and paint or draw.  My husband says "my fire has died down".  I would hate to think so.  Perhaps, it is just on "low".  There is just no way I would quit painting.  My studio is getting crowded with art work.  I'm just waiting to sell a few pieces to make space for new ones.

ART BLOG RESURRECTED!!!

I have decided to resurrect my art blog.  Instead of featuring my art work which you can find in my art website (http://paintingsbycynthia.com/), I will talk more about my joys, trials and tribulations as an artist.

When my two beloved piano teachers passed away, I shelved my piano books and turned to art.  I was always interested in drawing as a child but took my very first art class in October 1993.  I fell in love with painting and knew there was no turning back.  Even at that stage when I was learning the basics, I was transported into a different world.  It changed the way I looked at nature, faces, objects, and everything around me.  The world became more interesting.
