Well, if you know me, that's not exactly the adjective that describes me. Only one other person has ever called me "sweet" until now. After a wonderful workshop I attended, and encouragement from a fellow artist named Lisa, I knew it was time to put myself out there and share my art. So, I text my husband, who was out of town, and asked him to help me set a blog up when he got home. Shortly after, I received an email sending me to my new blog, the name was SWEET BABY'S ART. Seeing that he is my biggest fan, how could I change it?
I have just started painting in oils, and it is a whole new experience! It is so different from acrylic paint, and it can actually be quite challenging. I have only painted three canvases since my workshop, and twice I wiped off the paint saying "I can't do this", but with encouragement from my friends that I met in Atlanta, I persevered. I realized that it is indeed a journey. So thank you to The Black Eye Peas.

This was my first attempt, and I think it looks like a
wedge if cheese, but I didn't give up.
Wonderful and congratulations! So proud of you and look forward to watching and following your journey.
ReplyDeleteHey, I love the name of your blog! Sweetest thing I have heard in awhile- he gets brownie points for putting it right out there:)
Yes, I believe he gets double brownie points for this! It's a wonderful name, and your paintings are incredible. I love love love them, as Ruthie would say!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Cissy, this is great. I am really proud of you as well. Love the painting Solitude and I look forward to following your journey with your paintbrush in the future.
ReplyDeleteWoooooHooooo Cissy! The blog looks great! I love the name of the blog too, and if anyone doesn't... too bad for THEM!
ReplyDeleteYou need to look up Anne Packard and see that you and she have a similar mind set (and she gets $25,000 for each painting...) You GO girl!
Cissy so please to see you jump into blogging and oil painting. I love your comments about how you returned to painting and get inspiration. I really love your painting courage. Look forward seeing more of your feeling so beautifully expressed in paint. Paint on.
ReplyDeleteCissy,this is wonderful, and I hope to do the same thing soon. Right now, my computer has a bad virus, and my son-in.-law is trying to get rid of it. Love the name.
