exposing myself

   So... I was finishing up my new website and decided it would be a good idea to check how easily it could be found online. To my surprise the second site to appear using my name was this little blog page I completely forgot about. This must have been started at a time when I. . . like usual. . . loaded too many things onto my plate at once.
 
     I have made some updates and will try my best to put some effort into this now. I have yet to feel the urge to expose my inner thoughts and feelings about my work for the sake of not sounding very articulate. I listen to other artists evoke such poignant thoughts while expressing what their inspiration and techniques were during the creative process. When I am asked personal questions about my work I feel like I revert into a grade three student that has been put on the spot at show and tell. My usual response is something along the lines of . . ."I felt like painting some rocks."
  
    Of course it goes much deeper than that. I'm hoping by blogging I can help myself  expand my limited expression from merely blending colours and pencils, into more literary terms. Even if no one reads this but me, hopefully I will stop deflecting so many conversations and learn the neccesary skills to take what's really in my brain and turn it into words!

  Anyways, that's enough sharing for me for the time being. Now it's time for you to click on my little painting to the right and tour my web gallery (leaving some feedback of course)  :)

 Cheers,
