I've been thinking about painting a lot recently. Just not actually doing any. I've though about how beautiful I could make the large and oddly shaped canvas on my easel if only I had the time, patience and pain tolerance to stand at my easel for 5 or 6 more hours.
I've also been thinking about getting a book of A4 canvas's and doing some small and really simple line drawings, I did a series of them awhile back and they sold really well. They look good and define my style.

Selling work is important to me. I think the 3 months with no sales at all bashed my confidence a little, and although I've now sold 3 paintings this year, I still need to work on the dented pride.
My problem is that I've been distracted by someone, and that hasn't really helped my art, but he distracts me in all the best possible ways, if you can overlook the fact that I keep wanting to paint hearts - draw hearts with initials in them, scribble heart doodles, tiny hearts, sensual hearts, and most of all big plump over-flowing with happiness hearts!
