Hello art lovers. Lately I have been painting more than doing stained glass. I wrote a children’s story that I hope to have published for my grandchild’s first birthday. Yes, it is a picturebook which I plan to self-publish. So, the art I’m doing at the moment will not get into my website for a while. I am oil painting some of the illustrations and doing some in watercolor. Speaking of watercolor, I started attending a group of watercolorists one day a week. It is always nice to see what other people are doing. On another vein, I joined Toastmasters a year ago and this week I’m giving another speech on creativity. My plan is to talk about my earliest awareness of my creativity, show some samples of my work, and have an exercise that I hope will spark creativity for the audience members. Until next time, happy spring. eija

I went to a workshop last week that taught artists about the value of blogging about their art. It got me to thinking that I have to get over this fear of the internet ansd computers in general. So here I am at last…my first blog since my site was created almost nine months ago. About the workshop…it was inspiring. It HAD to be to get me this far. Also I’m taking an acounting of how much I actually paint or do stained glass. Actually I do a lot in a week’s time but I certainly do not finish a project each day. My goal is to finish one project a week. My style is to have at least two to five projects going at one time. My new goal now that I have finally broken the fear barrier on blogging is to blog for a few minutes each and every day. Hello world. Til next time. Eija
