Sometimes It's Really Frustrating

I try to keep this blog positive and not use it as a rant against the evil forces in my life. Overall I have things pretty good. I have a family that loves me, a roof over my head, a job that works with my artistic schedule, and a boat load of artistic talent. Lately things have been frustrating me. I can't seem to get ahead monetarily and all my artistic progress seems to have fallen back to ground zero. I look at is a chance to redo things, to use all that I've learned from the other times, to do things better this time. I"m down to only one venue showing my works, Patrick's Delique in Sikeston MO. I am very grateful for that. They have over sixty of my works on display there and I really don't have room in the house to store that many extra paintings. I'm not in either of the co-op galleries I was in anymore, nor the portrait society, nor the gallery her in Paducah. I guess you could say I'm a free agent. I've been doing at least one thing a day to further my career, so I make progress every day, no matter how small the step is. I have more time at the house and in the studio now that I'm no longer home schooling (my daughter is in public school now) but I'm so tired all the time I use a lot of my new found time napping. I'm hoping things change for the better as I get used to my new schedule.
