It has been an awfully long time since I updated this blog - I'm afraid I haven't found much balance between taking care of four children (and another on the way) and painting (you can imagine which of my roles is taking up the most time right now!). Still, I am SLOOOOOWLY chipping away at a pair of commission pieces that I am really excited about and plan to get it done before baby arrives (in about a month). Stay tuned!
