New Things, Old Ideas

Every now and then we all feel as though our lives have been turned upside-down. This has been one of those months. Apparently when my life is on it's head I travel at 1000 miles an hour, feeling as though there isn't enough time in this life to accomplish all of the things I need to do. And, of course, when you're trying to do everything at once, it seems as though nothing really ever gets done. BUT, I've managed to accomplish three things this week!

The first, which was really the second, is a tiny little dress for a tiny little person who hasn't poked her tiny, yet completely disproportionate little head into this world yet. If she grows like most little girls, she should be able to wear this dress at around 4-6 months or so. And it even has a little pocket for her to put things... like car keys and a cell phone.



Secondly, which in real time was finished first, is the fourth painting in my series of Haitian women. I'm not titling any of these, I want their feelings to speak for themselves, or for you to speak for their feelings on your own. Whichever. I've really been enjoying painting these ladies, I'm kind of sad to move on. Maybe if I'm lucky another natural disaster will occur somewhere in the world and I'll be able to paint about it. Oh a girl can dream.



And thirdly I ordered new business cards! No visual though, just in case they don't turn out the way I hope. It's not superstition, it's ego.
