Looking Backwards

It was at this hectic time of year in 2014 that I was getting my work hung for my senior art show and finishing up finals so I could graduate from college.  I had no idea of what was ahead for me, but it couldn't be crazier than school, right?  Right??  Guys?   

Me, with the show hung and ready to open.  

It was chaotic, it was difficult, but it was very worth the trouble.  Whether I've been teaching school or running a library I've known very firmly who and what I am, what I want to accomplish and that I am, in my inner-most heart, an artist.  I can take a few years on these side roads I've had to travel, but they don't change the basic nature of me.  In fact, they've just added to my collection of skills. 

One of the paintings I did for the show, "The Sentinal."  All of the paintings I did for that show have been sold or gifted, but each of them taught me more about painting, watercolor and myself.  

So, here I am, 3 years later and that many years older, still becoming.  Still learning and growing and still very much a watercolor painter.  As I hope I will always be.

Thanks for stopping by! Alice
