sometimes stuff takes over! new plans, a pandemic, two moves

Early 2020 I leased two spaces - one for studio and a plan I'm putting in place, and the second for home. Then the pandemic hit full force and while I was able to get the moves done it's been challenging. Coupling that with business planning, website building, organizing and the paperwork side of things has been stifling my creative time!! I enjoy the mix of adminstrative stuff that comes with running your own business HOWEVER, some days I find it extremely frustrating (like today!) but I'm nearing the point that I can devote more time to my own art again and I need to. I have been playing with drawings on different media but I'm itching to get back to the canvas and finish a few pieces and get some new ones started. Okay I feel better having vented for a few minutes lol ... stay tuned and you'll see more of what's on the easel soon....
