I’m loving these small acrylics. I’m on a roll!

That’s how I am – I start something new and I get all excited and I go like crazy for a while. Then something happens and I get bored, or busy, or lazy and the roll ends. And when I get the urge to create again, its onto something else.

That’s why I do so many different things. Cause I can’t settle on one thing. Its think it makes me interesting but not successful.

I think successful artists are the ones who focus on something that interests them or they’re good at, and they plug away and work hard and promote their work, yada yada.

Me, I create cause I love to create… whether its painting dog portraits (which incidentally, I get paid for!), I paint on rocks or marble cause I enjoy it and sell some here and there, I sew things when I get the sewing bug cause I enjoy it, I remake dolls cause I enjoy playing with dolls, I remake furniture cause I love it…

See the thread here? I do things I enjoy. And if people want to buy them, great.

Not a reliable way to make a living really.

In other news, Lainee had her ultasound today and she’s fine. She has some problem with a valve in her heart, which we knew, but that he doesn’t think its gotten any worse and that, in his opinion, she doesn’t need medication for it… she’s been on medication for her heart for about 3 years. And she has an issue with her gall bladder – sand or something – it may or may not get worse and may or may not cause problems for her in the future.

So all is right with the world now she’s feeling better. Complete with an extremely smooth belly and a couple of bald spots on her chest.

And the whole thing only cost about 200 euros.

ha.

My girl is well and that’s all that matters.
