Well I have certainly been busy for the past few weeks, I have been painting non-stop and when I am not painting I'm writing. My novel Prisms came out in december, it's a small novella available now at amazon, my next one Passion's Captive will be out this spring, and Jaded the sequel to Prisms will be out in the fall, between the novels and the painting I never stop. And I'm thankful to be in a position to work at what I love, even if I work constantly at least it is something I like to do, so that is a blessing in its own right. Thanks for reading and looking at my work. I am grateful for all the positive feedback and for everyone who has helped me become better at this craft. I continue to learn something new each day, I am still not selling a good amount on my art sites but enjoy being a part of this community anyway. I have a good bit of word of mouth business and continue to be a popular local artist in that respect. I have worked with several charitable organized auctions since Katrina and auctioned off several large pieces of my work to help people who were displaced after Katrina get housing, that is but one of the many causes I have donated time and work to. I always have a several irons in the fire at one time! I'm never still for long The road to success to me is full of constant change and being able to find a good path is just a matter of being consistent and never giving up on your dreams. always find a positive outlet to express yourself, and when the going gets tough move faster, if you can do that, then slow down and look for the culprit that is causing the problem,fix it and move on, never dwell on things you can't change, life is constant change and we have to change with it.
