what a difference a year makes.

As the end of 2016 draws near I take this time to reflect back on my artful and personal life. 

Often asking myself the same proverbial questions.  

Throughout the past year it has been easy to caught up in false assumptions 

that my dreams are so far away and may never come true.

Yet when I do take an in-depth look back I unveil an 

appreciation and deep satisfaction in my progress.

This feeling fuels me and propels me forward.

I ask myself, "Why does it matter?"

I find this answer not an easy one to articulate.
The simple verbal response is to say that I am
using my gift, from God, of creating art.
February 2011, there was a pivotal moment.
I never knew that I could paint or draw until that time.
Creating art has changed my life.

I believe we are all creative yet we doubt ourselves 
and hesitate to let our creative spirit out to play.

PLEASE NOTE:   You can read all my entries that chronicle my creative journeyat the side bar of this blog under All Posts-Now & Then.

Thank You for all of your support and encouragement.

I couldn't do this without YOU!
