Hello and Happy Easter.

@Tim Mossholder

After a lot of intense heartache and trauma in recent years (which isn’t to say they also haven’t brought some of the best times of my life as well), my creative spirit is making a desperate bid to rekindle.   I’ve been sculpting again and hope to teach myself watercolor. Also purchased a second hand giant awesome standing easel in hopes of getting back into oil painting, which I’m not very good at but really enjoy.

The dragon was first and a bit goofy and then the Chinese New Year mouse (because this year is the year of the Rat, which is my year). I’m pretty proud of the mouse and actually redid the lantern a little to hopefully be less messy.  Hoping to get back into sculpture to help bring in money to the household.

Also, I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I really miss all my friends I had on tumblr, both art and fandom friends.  This whole brave new world has reminded me how all of those friends got me through isolation in the past when I needed it the most.  So, I don’t know how many people are still around, but my love is always with all of you <3  (Tomorrow, my goal is beginning to write snail mail letters, bake cookie batches, and make little art things to send to old friends).
