Whew!!

Where have I been?  At my easel.  A LOT!  Yes, my constant presence would allow spiders to set up shop without disturbance.  My puppy has been letting out loud, obvious sighs of her boredom with my vigilance at my post.  But, it is done.

Yes, the second adventure of Greve and Celli titled, "Have You Ever Had a Daydream..." is in the hands of my publisher.  True, true, there are still proofs to approve and details to iron out as we go along but the art and text are done!

Creativity doesn't always comply with deadlines.  You have it all in your head and see it flowing seamlessly onto the canvas.  As you trudge along you envisions your supporters gasping in wonder at the genius of your talent.  What?  Me and my book featured on David Letterman?  Well, I suppose I could fit that into my calendar.  It's true I got a little punchy toward the end and frustrated with paint that does not follow your wishes.

One evening I was burning the midnight oil and I realized I had a complete dialogue going with the singer on my ipod.  He sang, " You look beautiful tonight." I tossed my head flirty and replied, " Oh please, in this old paint smock."  He continued," You are full of light" I cooed," Well, it is my easel light, it brings out my eyes." When I realized I was making out with my ipod I decided to cash it in for the night.  Sheesh!

So keep you eyes peeled this fall when Greve and Celli ride again.  It is one of those terrifying/exciting moments.  Will it be successful?  Did I just buy firewood? Not time for worry now, I have a dog that desperately needs a walk.
