I don’t share my personal work on my blog often, so when I stumbled across my folder of old works today I had to take a peek and share it with everyone. It’s been over 3 years since I last painted. On New Years eve 2011 I was at my dearest friends home and noticed the paintings I had given her carefully hung on her walls for all to view and I smiled having forgotten them all together. Another great friend just a week ago said he has decided to take up sketching again and wants to bring his sketchbook to Italy with me on our big upcoming trip. It clicked this week how much I miss expressing myself by drawing and painting… why had that not been my resolution for the year! I have been so wrapped up around advancing my career that I have been forgetting to take care of the other great things in my life that make me happy. Thank you both for reminding me of my passions, you know who you are!
This brings me to one of my New Years Resolutions…. Taking an evening painting course again!

=) Hi Laura I like the blue eyes woman of your portraits!
I still have the portrait on the top right. Scott and I have it on our buffet, but we are trying to decide where to hang it.
I love the guy on the bottom left. Looks like me in better shape.
Hey Ian! I know I was so excited to see it at Christmas
The one at the bottom was of you originally, lol. I took it to Montreal with me and my dear friend named it as a portrait of himself so its in his apartment now!
It’s funny that you posted this…This is something that I’ve been thinking alot about since the first of the year! It’s been ages since I actively went out to take photographs. I want/need to start back up with it again!
There is no time like TODAY to start doing the things you love again. It would be great to go out to the mountains, take the dogs for a walk, shoot some photos and maybe do a sketch or two!
