1. going to painting class tonight despite how tired i am and loving it
2. i'm painting during lea's nap each day consistently and have a few projects i'm excited about
3. being out of "my world is turned upside down right now" mode....petering off at least now that the moon isn't so damn full!
4. jeff for being so sweet and gentle with me while i've been in this state
5. resolving to spend less time online and more time with my paint and instantly noticing the difference
6. a warm cheese and turkey quesadilla when i got home from class.
   

nugget: painting is not who i am but how i claim my space in this crazy world and trying to do it any other way will only make me feel alone and misunderstood....in short, i need to paint to connect to myself and make sense of the world around me. when i don't paint i feel lost.

note: one of my goals is to start getting my work out in the world more so i decided to start including pics of my works in progress. it will help me in many ways. feel free to comment or ignore it. it's just a way for me to get out of my comfort zone and into the world.

i worked on this one today. its gone through a few transformations...
