Scattered

I am trying hard to focus myself in light of some of the stress I am dealing with. I finished my winter dragon painting, Midwinters Frost. Johnnie will photograph it on Saturday and I will be posting it then. My plate is FULL and I am trying to best multitask as I can.I want to get back in shape. I am working out and walking my dog in between paint washes drying (No I don't like to use a hair dryer, everything in its own time I say) I am trying to make the most of all the time that I have so I can meet my goal for my book and prepare for Imagicon at the same time. I also want to spring clean and organize the house. The list goes on and on. I am working on the Spring Dragon now.

I also need to balance my work and non work life better. Right now it is like 99% work .5% non work and .5% sleep. I want to get back into animal activism, guitar and my super love horses. I love equines so much I can't wait until the day I have my own to ride as I wish. I am considering becoming certified in animal massage (canine and equine) so I can interact with animals more like I used to when I was a vet tech. Maybe some stables will swap me some riding time for some massage time. I won't even dream of this until show season concludes in November. I will have a teeny gap to go to school, so I am toying with it. I just want to ride again really but I am gifted with animals so I may as well try to use my talent as well. My family tells me I can't have it all. I can't be a musician and an artist and work with animals. I don't like to be told what I can and can't do. I love my career, I have no intention of stopping OR slowing down. This is more of a life enrichment thing for me as well as hey I can make some extra cash doing it. With it I will start a Horsey fund. I either want an arabian or a Gypsy Vanner horse. I am leaning toward the battle beast.

On the art front we are about to hit full force. We have a lot of things going on and a lot of plans for the future. I am really excited at the direction my career is going. I use my work out time to mull over what I want to do with my art and where I want to go. I am slowly starting to shape that into something concrete. My art style is changing, hopefully for the better and I hope to "level up" again soon. I am getting a little water colored out and I want to do some more acrylic and oil pieces like I used to. I also have some digital things I really want to do. So expect art, progress and change really soon.

Hopefully everyone has something a little fun planned for Mardi Gras. Johnnie brought home a King Cake and we have a deal going that whoever doesn't get the baby inside has to make a King Cake from scratch next year...that should be interesting...

Anyway I best get back to work. Thanks to all for the comments and well wishes. You all rock!
