New Year New Art------Work in progress!

I am not a full time artist. In fact I have hardly touched my paints these past few years. Life gets ahold of you, you blink and before you know it you are trying to find a way back to what you used to love so much. I remember what some of my biggest issues were when I stopped painting. My frustration left most paintings unfinished and my lack of time was a great excuse to let the dust build on all my supplies. NO MORE! I promised myself this year I would find a way back and I am getting there slowly but surely. I recently took an art class to help brush up on the basics. By the end of the class I was fired up and ready to go........but now I am trying to figure what next....Should I continue to work on some of the exercises we did in class? Work on some of my old paintings? Work on something new?

I did find something in class that I had forgotten about that I feel is crucial to my growth as an artist......I found fellow artist. We all shared the similar frustrations, dreams and demands for our time but most importantly the love of creating art. I really do hope that this group can come together again like it once did in supporting each other. If anyone has any ideas or discussions they want to get started please let me know.

Comment by Pamela Weisberg on June 30, 2009 at 8:37pm: Hi Leisa,
I like your florals and figures. I especially like your "Tea With Lemons" painting. It has great design and color.

Comment by Pamela Weisberg on June 30, 2009 at 7:38pm: Thanks for the invitation to join. I am a fine artist and illustrator using traditional and digital tools. The majority of my artwork is impressionistic, but in my spare time I like to experiment with different styles. I love helping people to learn the basics - so I teach locally how to draw and paint. Teaching has helped me to improve my own artwork. I have shown my art in many art shows and festivals. But I stopped doing that a few years ago - and am happier for it. Even though my art is now in a few small galleries, I am actively seeking more representation. Looking forward to networking with other artists.

Comment by Verneda Lights on June 30, 2009 at 6:02pm: Looking forward to learning and networking with members of "Take it to the Next Level." My passion is art both digital and traditional. I also design tiles, mosaics, and fabrics. Looking for management representation as an artist and designer.

Comment by Sherry Tiger-Landry on June 29, 2009 at 10:11pm: Thanks for the invitation to join. I'm new to the art scene. Started painting 2 years ago. I have done well for a beginner who is now a professional. Solane thanks for the nice compliments.

Comment by Donald Kennedy on June 25, 2009 at 6:25pm: Dear Nancy, Glad to hear that your surgery went well and that your hand is on the mend. I have you penciled in to pitch the first game of the play offs. For now try dipping a cat in paint and swinging the cat towards the canvas with the other hand. If you want to get complicated we might have to get different sized cats from your neighborhood and remember Manx cats are out ( no tail). All kidding aside you are in my prayers, glad to hear that you paining is improving most of panting is between your ears any how and the rest is your indomitable spirit. Go on healing with my love and grace of God, Donald

Comment by Slone Fries on June 25, 2009 at 5:58pm: Well I hope your hand is not hurting to much but glad to hear your art has improved! I am very excited to have you join our group!
