I am finally painting again after months of not painting. It took two close friends of 33 plus years to come to Vieques and really get on my case! And they did. I had become very involved in beading jewelery for months and months, and months and months.Perhaps thats what I needed as it was a mindless obsession! Now I will put the same energy into painting. i have switched painting mediums and am now working in acrylic and it is like I am learning to paint again. Of course it does not help that I have not lifted a paint brush since last year. Soon I will start my Annual Chincoteague Island Pony Poster and eventually start painting the wild horses of Vieques Island.
