number two

Okay, so this is my second post and it's not much, but it is a start to something that I hope will be something worthwhile.

The summer has begun and I living in Marine Town, USA (aka Jacksonville, NC) with my husband, Josh and our friends Jessica and Kevonte. I started an internship at the Arts Council here in Jacksonville and trying to learn as much as I can during my time there. The director there has been welcoming and tells story after story about day to day events and of her life experiences. Some days have more stories than others depending on how much there is to actually do. My favorite day, I think, is when I got to help her hang Doretta Smith's show in the gallery. I'm looking forward to what else I'll get to do.

I have made a goal for this summer to painting more and be more productive instead of just keeping myself busy with things like cleaning and running errands, which I have found is so easy to do. But I am excited to see what this summer will unfold, and I already have one commission; my first commission ever. : ) My sister has asked me to do a painting for her to give to her friend as a wedding gift. This will be challenging, but fun too. I will be sure to post my progress through it all.

We'll see how I do, I suppose. Wish me luck!
