"It is, after all, the dab of grit that seeps into an oyster's shell that makes the pearl, not pearl-making seminars with other oysters." ~ Stephen King

I've gotten a little more inspiration to keep on working. Now where is Christian with my characters? I will be marathon-ing considering this sudden artistic energy burst. No socialising for me. Kinda. There's always ICQ and MSN after all.

I've also forgotten the beauty of paint. Damn! I would love to be able to have the...patience, peace, burst of inspiration, materials, money to go back to this. So yes sure I can go use the old yucky paint that I have there with the ratty stupid brushes - and I won't feel comfortable and I will give it up. That's a few of the reasons I have stopped painting for those of you who wonder. I need a job, so I can buy me some nice brushes, oils, and set to work...make back my money and maybe some more so I can venture into other realms of artsy bliss.

It's at time like these when everything looks beautiful.
