Weather Vane Part I

This week I made this mixed media collage art design. He is a handome painting now but soon will have a fabric cousin. I am going using this painting as inspiration for a quilt design.

Here we go...Today is the first day

Today I am opening up to the big world. I am beginning my beautiful life and embracing some scary parts. I have wanted to design for years. Years. I design all the time but just little bits, not every day. This week I have actually been paid for my artwork. I have been commissioned to make more. It's time to acknowlege the time is here, right now, to declare that I am an artist and designer.
I wake up thinking of new designs. I go to sleep thinking of more things to make, designs to create, paintings to paint. I am thankful to God for so much inspiration.
I have a family that comes first so artwork fits in this busy life that I love. I can paint a background while dinner is cooking or laundry is swishing around. My artwork is my outlet. It's a coping mechanism. It also makes me happy.
So, here we go. I'm all in officially. I just need a bit more time.  :)
