I won't be painting for awhile because my studio is in my beach house and dear friends from Dublin are staying there for about two weeks.  They're Irish, and wanted to experience an American Thanksgiving. (I hope I get an invite over sometime to experience an Irish St. Patrick' Day!)   I'm happy to see them and their new baby, so the painting will just have to wait.

I thought it might be a good idea to 'stay on track' these next two weeks by doing research on a few administrative things that I have been meaning to take care of: business cards, websites, canvases, mediums and frames.  We'll see how many of those topics I hit...pretty ambitious, eh?

I'm starting, and this morning ran across this article, and for all painting buddies, it makes a lot of sense to me.

It's a little advice on how to make your painting dream (whatever it may be) into a reality.  It struck me because I'm not exactly sure what my painting dream is right now.  I do know that, without a plan, not much will happen beyond random events.  So, I'll be thinking about that these next two weeks, between cooking lots of food and relaxing with the family. :  )

Happy painting, cooking, eating and whatever else comes your way these next two weeks.
