Almost There

I have been thinking alot about this blog and whether or not I will keep it going.

again.  I have also been thinking about 'why I paint'.  I have come to realize

the ups and downs and thinking that goes into what I am trying to express
and how I am saying it - what mood, what emotion, what color, what feeling?
I am ready to crank it up and get going again. 
It may happen around the first of 2018 - if plans go accordingly.
