I'm still Standing...

Hello my artsy friends!  I'm so sorry I haven't been able to post for the last month.  I hope you haven't forgotten about me!  I even missed my first blogaversary!  I would like to make up for it with a give away before the holidays come upon us... We'll see. 

As some of you know, I have been spending most of my time taking care of my father as his illness progressed.  It is with great sadness that I share his passing with you.  He left us on Oct. 11th in the morning, 2 weeks short of his 86th birthday.  My Mom is doing well but we are both exhausted and in the process of grieving and change.  Thank you to all of you who shared their prayers and well wishes to my Dad and Mom and gave me support over the last several months.

My creativity has been at an all time low but today I was able to do a working sketch of a fairy that I want to develop into a painting at some later date.  So here she is...


Working sketch of faerie

I had to halt my reorganization of my studio but I really am not too far from being finished.  I'm hoping to share it within the next couple of weeks along with some new art too.

Keep arting, my lovelies, and I certainly will too!

Forever in art,

Jessi
