What's Stopping Me?
Yep, it has been more than ten years since I’ve painted. But why?
Well, after I left RISD (Rhode Island School of Design, my first college) in the spring of 2000, I applied to RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) in the Fall of 2001 and was accepted. (For those of you who do not know I left RISD on account of my first paranoid schizophrenic episode).

60 paintings in 60 days? . . . Maybe . . . Guess We'll See.
60 paintings in 60 days? . . . Maybe . . . Guess We'll See.
I read a really great article the other day in which an artist dedicated 100 days to do 100 6”x6” paintings (that is, one painting each day) which sold for $100.00 each. It was a really cool article and I felt so inspired. I would really love doing something like that—but a ‘lil different–something like 60 6”x6” inch paintings in 60 days for $60.00
But I am the proud mother of three beautiful little girls and unfortunately quiet time—free and uninterrupted—is hard to come by.
Now , the girls go to bed sometime around 8:00 p.m. every night. So, I suppose that I could put them to bed then and quickly rush to start painting every night. I tend to go to bed around 12:00 a.m., so that would give me exactly four hours to complete each painting.
