Falling off in October!

unfinished
        October may be my favorite month of the year, yet I missed posting. Supreme educator Abby (whileshenaps.com) today wrote: "Sometimes having a blog is awesome. And sometimes it feels like a prison sentence." I understood, but/and I decided to get back to the computer to post my less than dazzling accomplishments before another month goes by.

     Oversight of Hannah's Hershey Halloween costume was the winner. But looking for ideas, I only started some still lifes in a class. Also, I want to return to the ex voto paintings (on wood shaped as paper prayers) where I show my great gratitude for blessings. I started a painting of son Jim's rowing the grandchildren in Central Park. I haven't gotten anywhere, but I am delighted to get this post up at least. 

     Excitement is that I downloaded an app at the library today to listen to books while I paint. Perhaps I will be more productive and expansive next month!

  1. Welcome back! And for you--when I stopped blogging I stopped. Period. Now you make me think maybe. . .?

  2. As I just told via email, I can certainly understand not getting around to your blog because I've struggled with that too. Now you've posted again and you've shared that you're pleased about that and that perhaps it will get you going again. I look forward with anticipation to your posts!

  4. Please, Linda, do not feel at all bad about missing a month. You do so much and are so busy all of the time!

  6. Thanks for updating the blog. I think you are too hard on yourself. Your work is always artistically interesting and intellectually challenging. KB

  7. Linda, I don't think you should worry about missing a month! You stay so busy and involved, and you are so amazingly creatively productive, that all of your friends, including me, are in awe of you! I LOVED the Hersey costume, and the photos of the paintings were lovely.
