Painting or Writing Today?

... And today...?

Writing day for me, or painting day. I'm thinking I might write this morning and paint this afternoon.

I need to build up my collection for sale as quickly as I can. Quickly? Yeah, right! Sometimes it takes up to three weeks to complete some of my artwork.
I can hear all the other artists out there sniggering right now.

Yes, I know, but I work with a 000 size brush painting very fine lines and details on large canvasses. It takes time. Yes, fellow artists, you can all stop laughing at me now!

I'm having the time of my life, though. Since I took up the brush again after many years of raising children [2], animals [many], husbands [only 1] - you think I'd do this twice?, I've been really getting into it and enjoying my art on a whole different level.

I can't really explain how I work, but I channel Earth Energy to do my paintings. I begin on a blank canvass and just let it all happen. Nothing is planned and I never know what I'm going to end up with. It's different, it's spontaneous, it's fun, and it comes straight from the heart and soul.

Check out my Earth Tones Gallery under the Glenloth Photo Album on my Yahoo! 360 page. Some of my work is on there. It's hard to get a fully detailed photo of my work. The colours and finest lines don't always show up. Never mind - take a look and you'll get the idea.

Shadow Runners is also nearly complete. I'm right at a crucial part near the very end. Ending a book is a bit scary. You have to get that exactly right. It's like the beginning. If your end and beginning is not perfect, you can ruin the whole thing. Now I'm getting really nervous.

Anyway, I'd better get to it.

See ya!
