i'm sorry i've neglected you. except for a few, most of these artworks were done when i was 16 and 17 years old.

i turned 21 last week.

i painted a picture today and marveled at how easy it still is if i just get over the insecurities, the angst, the procrastination, and the self-doubt and just do it the hell anyway.

it was nice to have a day off today and the house alone. it was nice to paint.

i miss you art world. my deepest apologies and sincerest regrets for pushing you to the wayside for so long.

unfortunately i must say that you still are not my number one priority. i'm busy here building a family, a home, working on a long term project (super secret), and a love with my fiance.

thankyou for still and always being a part of me. my creativity and artist tendencies makes me happy to be me.

love always
