On Painting, Vacations & Taking Sabbaticals

lately i've been feeling so much like i'm pushing at full-speed, straight ahead. 

so we decided to take a little break and head to door county, wisconsin (where we were married).

i realized these last few months i'd been moving forward with such intensity, that i had forgotten to take a breath and look around.

so i'm taking a 3 month sabbatical.  

to me, this doesn't mean i'm going to stop "working" all together. i LOVE what i do and couldn't imagine not doing it. my work is my life.

but i am taking much more time to breathe. 

i am taking lots of time to journal, read, snap photos, and soak everything in.

and i am taking so much time to refuel my creativity and just paint, paint, paint.

before i move forward with everything i had "planned," i want to reassess and make sure i'm completely and utterly so excited and passionate about my next creative projects. 

so i will definitely be posting lots of new paintings this month. 

find me on facebook...where i post all of my new artwork first and lots of in-progress shots right in the moment too (i can't resist).

it's already been amazing how much inspiration comes when you take a step back. and it's been seriously tricky not to jump in and start on all of these new ideas i'm having.

for sure there will be new online courses coming soon. and i'm so excited to share everything i've been creating with you!
