Taking a Break

I've decided to give myself some permission to take a break from my art. I have been feeling quite overwhelmed lately by everything I've got going on and having a difficult time making time for my painting. I'm taking a full class load and this quarter is easily one of the busiest I've had in my 4 years in college. I'm also getting married in 4 weeks so I'm feeling some stress from that. Actually this school quarter ends the day before my wedding. I'm even thinking about beginning my yoga teacher training soon. So you can see why I'm feeling overwhelmed. It takes a great deal for me to get stressed and my yoga practice has helped me manage it, but it's still a lot.

My art is unfortunately my last priority right now and after the wedding and after this quarter is over I plan on jumping right back into it. And I may do some painting over the next few weeks but only if I have the time and I want to.

Have a great day!

Busy Busy

Hi everyone! I wish I had a new painting to share with you today, but I do have one in the works. I started a new watercolor painting yesterday of some beautiful peach roses. I'm sure I will finish that up within the next couple days.

Life has been rather hectic the past week or so. My Fiance has been working a few nights instead of days and that has my schedule all messed up. I've also been busy with new classes in school (I'm taking Intro. to Psychology, Corporate Business Structures and Litigation II this quarter). And I've been thinking a great deal about getting my teaching certificate so I can teach yoga. I can either begin the program this Fall or next Spring. I'd like to start this Fall, but I have a lot to to in order to prepare for it. So, it's been a balance of yoga, school, painting and my other daily responsibilities. On the upside, there is never a time where I don't have something to do and I'm never bored. :)

I just wanted to let you know what I've been doing and that I haven't disappeared. :) Have a great afternoon!

Taking a Little Break

Well it's been quite a while since I last posted an update. I have been taking a little break from painting, and I've been focusing inward. I've rediscovered my love for yoga, and I've been dedicating a lot of my time to my practice. I'm even thinking about going through yoga teacher training so that I can teach. I would really love to teach yoga to young people. You can tell just by watching the news lately that there is so much anger in today's youth. I think if they had a healthy outlet, such as yoga, they could better manage the stresses in their lives. So, for now, I'm working on my own practice, and trying to find a deep inner peace.

I'm on a little break from school right now, and I do hope to make some time for painting before I start some new classes. I will be sure to share anything that I'm working on. :)
