Hello my dears! What a week this has been for me. I have been struggling to keep myself motivated since school ended. It is so hard to go from a regular schedule to a bunch of time off, and I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to start school next Tuesday. As I do at the beginning of every semester I have already rearranged my schedule twice. I was originally going to take a math and English class. I decided this morning though that it would be a bit too much for an eight week semester. I dropped the English class, and added painting to my schedule. At least I can have some fun at school this Summer!

I started a new painting this afternoon. My sister stopped by and we painted for a few hours together. Not much done, but you can have a sneak peak at what I am working on.

I am already really anxious to finish this because I am sick of looking at the back of it. It is one of those hideous paintings from the dumpster. It will look a thousand times better once it is on the wall….at least I hope it does!

You may notice that I moved my little painting station. I had been painting in my front room, but so often I get disturbed by my cousin or neighbors when they see me painting in the window. My easel is now in the kitchen/living room area. It is so much easier to focus and get a lot done.
