the truth.

Wow. What was I saying about that momentum? I fell into a painting blackhole grasping for ideas and came out gasping with only 3 new pieces to show for all of 2008.

I had my first baby on August 13th, 2008. And between figuring out this motherhood thing, entertaining out-of-town family for months at a time...and wonderful, yet hectic extended vacations, I've only started working again this past September.

And I do mean really, really working. I had tried to prepare myself for the idea that I may not have time or energy to paint once my daughter was born; but found out that in reality, this is simply not an option.

It just took me longer than it should have to figure that out...
