Diving in head first...
Diving in head first... A post I started some time ago and got no further than the title, but still fits.
I've allowed myself to get "too busy for art", and that isn't something I am happy with, so I'm taking active steps to increase the time I spend making art. I'm not able to spend time each day right now, but am devoting some time several times a week to small projects.
I started the year off deciding to participate in this year's #twitterartexhibit, and did several pieces to fit that exhibit before I decided on which one to use. I've since mailed my submission to Moss, Norway and am continuing with small pieces to keep myself motivated.

Trees are something of a theme for me. They have featured strongly in my art since I was quite young. I live in a rural area. I grew up surrounded by trees, with the nearest major (paved) road almost a mile away, and loved it! Where I live now isn't quite that remote, but still rural and I wouldn't trade living in the country for anything.

In the woods...
I've been feeling like I've been lost in the woods lately with the lack of time to be able to spend in my studio. I made some time this weekend amid household and farm preparation for the coming storm to spend about an hour alone, working in my studio. Time spent becoming familiar with my new etching press and a drypoint I started a few months ago.
I plan to pull an edition in the next week and will post some photos when I get it finished!

New drypoint started...
So, I have pulled an initial print off of a new drypoint. It has been almost 2 years since I have had much studio time due to a renovation and move, but all should be settling down some now and I hope to devote much more time to my art!
This is a snapshot of the inital test print off of the drypoint I worked on tonight.
I am going to make a few minor alterations to it, but overall I like it.
I hope you do, too.
