A New Beginning

Today is officially the day I start working on my career as an artist.  I have worked in the business world, and as a business owner, but my day job always has gotten in the way of my true passion to be an artist.  I have been working at changing that, but along the way, life always gets in the way of my art, putting focus on everything else as a priority except for my creativity.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy owning a retail flower shop and designing with flowers, which does allow for me to be creative, but it's usually somewhat restrictive, and frequently on other people's terms, because I have to design what they want within a price they are willing to pay.  This limits me, not to mention that there is not much permanence to flowers, so the designs I create are only available to enjoy for a week or two until they fade and die.

I have committed to changing the focus of my day and making time to create at least one small piece of art daily.  As I work through this challenge, I will take readers with me in this blog, and show you the art pieces I create, and discuss my inspirations for subject matter, and the challenges I face along the way.

Signing off for now, but will be back in a day or two with my first creation.
