Soaring Into 2019
Designing a new website is a daunting task. Something gets sacrificed in the process – in my case, painting time! Now that it's launched, with just some tweaking left to do, I'm looking forward to getting some solid time at the easel.
I don't always do a word for the year – and I realize that it's March now – but this year I decided it's "Soar," and I did a painting to commemorate it. I've had this one in mind for quite some time, and it did not come easy when I finally got started, because I was dealing with a difficult reference and high expectations! But I'm happy with the result, inspired by the energy of a yearling loving life, and ready to take on the rest of the year.

This Blue October song is where the title of the painting came from.
