Getting Started

This is the 3rd time I have started a blog post today, really 4 but the first is off in space somewhere. It is perhaps the trials of trying something new. I have taken a sabbatical from posting blogs for a few years and coming back isn't quite as simple as I thought.

I just want to share a little bit about my creative endeavors and perhaps put out for you to see some of my art. I have retired from teaching piano lessons and have gone all out into art. A change but perhaps just widening the road I am on, still making beauty.

I have finished my winter art class and summer has begun. The first thing I did was take a road trip across country. I took lots of photos of landscapes which will inspire more art. Going on a road trip is a great way to see changes of scenery. I traveled through desert, plains and mountains. The mountains were still in early spring; a little snow was experienced. The vast middle was hilly and flat and very green. The east coast had lots of trees, cooler and misty.

Pansies and Catmint

I came home to a garden that had filled out with green, pots overflowing with pansies and blooming catmint. The roses will be out in the next week; I have an early rose that is blooming pale pink as I write.

I want to push out as well, to share my art, my doings a little bit and writing is something I like to do. I don't know as yet how often my writing will be, but I am hoping weekly. In each of my post I am going to share a piece of recent art, and it will be for sale. If you love it and want to add it to your life you can email me at leaherickson11@gmail.com that should get us in contact. Eventually I will have a place for you to purchase directly on my site. Just be patient.

Thank you for stopping by and spending a little time with me.
