&#8220;Courage&#8221; (conte and pastel drawing), Copyright © Attaining Creativity 2008   
In the period of simply one month, things change. I can remember hot days spent in cool darkness, wondering how I would earn money through my art. I would research markets, make drives to hot asphalt parking lots to check them out, and find they weren’t a good [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Coffee and Milk,&#8221; (conte, and pastel drawing), Copyright © Attaining Creativity 2008   
The weeks have passed quickly and as I have been focused on getting my art out of the studio and into the experiment of having it be bought by real people, the task of putting together blog entries has fallen off the list.

&#8220;Tree of Hearts,&#8221; (conte, and pastel drawing), Copyright © Attaining Creativity 2008
It never fails that when I write or think about something, the universe responds and overwhelms me with support and information about the same topic I’ve thought of. So in response to my latest blog entry, the universe has provided me with this matching inspiration:

This week, I participated in three art fairs, and in each one, I met up with a person who was on the edge, the cusp, of following their dream. In some instances, it wasn’t particularly a full-time dream, but they were on the edge of either [...]]]></description>

A Bouquet for You (Detail) - Greeting card of conte, and pastel drawing, Copyright © Attaining Creativity 2008  
Sometimes, it is the simple things that get us moving at light speed. Things like:

Waking up at the crack of dawn, willingly and eager
Enjoying a quiet hour in the morning, in the light of dusk
Completing a set of business tasks [...]]]></description>

Dad and I (conte, and pastel drawing), Copyright © Attaining Creativity 2008  
Today has been a productive day, in the sense that even though I don’t have a “timeline” for the day, I have been utterly productive and timely in my productions. 
I am attempting to set weekly goals, and dedicate days to certain tasks. My hope is that [...]]]></description>

A boy dressed in red rain boots, enjoying the 70-degree sunny day
A woman walking away from the farmer’s market with 6 bouquets of flowers, so many that I could hardly see her face
