Chocolate Apple

Our family got this huge Chocolate Apple for Christmas! I wouldn't let them eat it until I had painted it.

Here is another painting! It was done last winter.

Learning Blogging

I have been out of town visiting my daughter. She is getting married in May and we were working on the plans for the big day! It was fun to get away but I guess I am a homebody at heart. It was so so good to finally get home! I have spent the day catching up with email and reading about art blogs. How to make them more effective, interesting, popular, and beautiful. I keep feeling like the more I learn the more I need to learn. I am determined to keep up this blog and I am going to rededicate myself to it.

Some of the things I learned today:
Blog everyday.
I have a lot to learn.
I need a purpose for blogging. (I need to work on this, to better define what I am doing.)
I have a lot more to learn.
I need to put more pictures in my blog.
I need a better photo editor, Photoshop program thingy. (I am sure that this is the correct technical term for this)
That maybe I need a class to learn more about how all of this works
I need to link to other's blogs
I don't know how to link to others blogs.
That when I do figure out how to link to other's blogs--I don't know what to say.
Blogging will keep my intentions in the forefront of my mind.
I need to be interesting. to capture people's attention.
I need to learn to write.
I need to paint and draw and create more than ever. (How do I do that and work on the wedding?)

There is more and I am sure that as I learn each one of these things it will lead to many more things to learn. I do like learning new things so I will have lots to keep me busy!
