There are times in my very adult world of career, parenting and home ownership when I just have to let loose. A time to get in touch with my inner child and see that she gets adequate play time. Painting commission work and new pieces is quite rewarding, but there is still a “work” element to it. Listing and marketing my art is definitely a full-time job! But there is silliness when I allow it. Letting go! It’s like being a kid again with big smiles and jumbo crayons. Yes, I still finger paint too! Whether you are an artist or not, it is good to go back in time for awhile…..When was the last time you played marbles?

Today I am taking my daughter and one of her friends shopping. They love to shop for clothes and accessories, but what teen-aged girl doesn’t? Ok me at that age. I am not much of a shopper and never have been. I have been told many times that I shop like a man. You know the stereotypical male shopper right? He knows what he needs, goes in and gets it and leaves. If that is manly shopping then I must agree. I shop like a man.
Now it’s a totally different story if you drop me into an art supply store. I will look at every single item, take off caps, smell things, etc. Papers must be felt with my hands for textural nuances. Price comparisons for canvas must be made. And look at all of those colors of paint! Every brush has to be pressed against my skin to determine it’s value. I can spend hours immersed in art supplies. So in this one way I am truly a “shopaholic”.
But today it is all giggles, lip-gloss and possibly neon tennis shoes. 😉 The only thing that makes the shopping part bearable for me is the fact that these ladies love a good bargain, so we will be hitting consignment shops and Goodwills. You never know what you will find in those places. 🙂

Today is a “play day” which means I will not be spending hours in front of the computer. Instead I will be doing some things that I love to do like bike ride with my Hubby and creating just for fun. I am putting a new piece over our fireplace. 🙂 Enjoy your day everyone!
