Pocket Full of Dreams Geraniums

The geranium obsession continues in Flower Mound Studio, as the only flowers blooming well in my garden after all these rains are my pink and red geraniums. I've been home for a few weeks in a row, a rarity in my schedule, and have been thinking a lot about this art journey. I still have those times I get very worried and scared about just being
an artist and trying to make ends meet. But I am still glad I left my
job as a magazine editor to become a full time artist. One year ago, I
was trapped on the corporate treadmill, and said to myself, Life is so
very short. I knew I was taking a huge risk and I know every day is a
risk, but I just had to go with what my heart and soul were telling me
to do - paint and teach. I don't know where this journey ends, but I do
know I will never be someone who lays on their deathbed wondering, "what
if...." I'll always be glad I took this leap. Even if I do end up
living in a cardboard box under the interstate! At least my little
cardboard sign asking for chocolate, handouts, and dogfood for the pugs
will be really, really pretty with flowers on it. :0) Ha!!
