"Amelia" by Inez Storer, 2002oil on board, 36 x 24 inches
That would be me...slow as molasses O'Neill! Sorry for the lack of art lately. There has been so much going on in life...that the artwork has been slow-go. I really like the above painting by one of my very favorite Artist's, Inez Storer...because it's what I feel like these days. My wings are on and I'm ready to go...but I'm teetering and need to be held up by some unknown forces to stay balanced. I have to remember during these periods (as my friend Melissa says) that "Art is Life and Life is Art". Sometimes ya just gotta soak in the life...wait...and hope that it spills out some really good art. Sooner than later would be good!
Best friends, Maisie Rose and Ruby MarieOne of the really great things going on lately has been the birth of baby Jenna...the new daughter of our very dear friends, Shennon and Greg. We were over visiting last weekend and big sister Ruby and Maisie had some very special time together. Ruby tugged on those big ears, fed her some tasty grass and petted her very gently. Maisie's heart was wide open to all of it...it was pretty precious.
I'm almost finished with a dog commission and a new abstract...so hope to show you those very soon. I'm hoping that molasses warms up and fuels my inspiration!

Thank you for sharing Inez's work. I love the postcards on her site. Most of her work looks quite large. It's wonderful!
Great share on Inez Storer.
Sometimes when I have trouble getting into the groove I try waking up and doing affirmations each day for a week or a month ... I just repeat the same thing each morning, and instead of saying " I will meet my commitments today" I try " I am meeting all my commitments". It can be really general stuff like I will feed my artist today ...whatever little phrase will motivate you in the way you need or want to be motivated.
Hi honey! I'm cheering for you through my haze of sickness. That shot of Ruby and Maisie is too cute. Hugs, Shari
Can't wait to see you new work! Good girl Maisie.

Very cool painting by Inez Storer!
I go through those slow periods often and then something kicks in and I'm off and running again. Good time to recharge your battery.

Maise is such a good girl. Cute photo.

Very sweet photo of Maisie and her little friend. That is great, I think it is important for kids to have exposure to dogs and animals at a young age and know how to act around them.
Looking forward to seeing your new commission...hey, art is slow for all of us at times. Sometimes I'm running around painting like a nut and others, the ideas and inspiration just don't surface for whatever reason. Those times pass though and you will once again be painting up a storm.
Reminds me of my beautiful German Shepherds. I finally posted a pic of them - http://freshlyfound.blogspot.com/2008/04/seen-in-my-garden-lately.html
Awww, Maisie is just as sweet as she looks. Ya know, she is looking more and more like a German Shepherd every day. Their faces really change when they reach maturity.
