The beginning

I am recently a new mother.... What I am finding out is the challenges to getting anything done as a new mom, which is nothing! It's hard to do anything! Since my new challenge and my new family and has quickly become whole universe and of course my inspiration. Here is my little love story..... 

First I meet my love in the cold trying to assist him at his job..... it turned into this beautiful day

OUR WEDDING!

These are our two mut's Max (the boxer mix with the sour face) and Stormy (the overly curious black lab) that bonded our love further and it help us lead to the conclusion we want a family!!!

P.S Rescue a dog, they are the best!

Stromy= Trouble & Crazy... Max= Love & Lazy   

So one we started off this year with our little girl, Claire!

 AHHHHHH!!

and now we are a family

THE GRUNDY'S

 

Since this is my first post I like to talk explain the point of this blog. My goal for myself in life is to do something with my art work. I feel like I've given up or quit almost everything in life that has been important to me other than my family (maybe I'm a little to decided too), hair (I am a hairstylist) , and my receiving bachelors degree (which is now seems like the equivalent to a high school diploma).  In the past, I have often been good at other forms of art minus singing and I have quit either before I've gotten ahead or right as I was about to accomplish something. This time I can't give up no matter how long this process my turn out to be! This blog is to keep myself on track, to make sure I work on something at least once a week, show anyone who is curious about my work what is coming up, what I have done and OF COURSE  to finally feel that sense of accomplishment. I'd also like to find ways to include my family and discuss it in my blog and to show my daughter how to accomplish a dream. So, here we finally are my art work!

As I am a new mom and all  this is how far I am on my new project and what this painting is supposed to be is the Glensheen Mansion.... here is my process thus far....

Still very much a work in progress!!! The Glensheen Mansion is this historical mansion in Duluth, MN and I also happened to get married there! So, it's the current painting project, putting my own twist on the Glensheen. Ill be posting my progress as this piece starts to evolve and hopefully be something beautiful so please stay tuned! 

This week I also finally got to get out and start to take picture for possible future paintings. My lovely husband bought me a new camera for Christmas and finally my little family and I went out in the snow and captured some snowy Minnesota moments.....

So here is the beginning and here is to keeping my passion's continued. Stay tuned for next week to find out what pictures we have put in the idea album and for finished and on going art work!
