'Tis The Season

So, If you haven't yet noticed, It is time for Christmas. I have been kind of putting off thinking about it since at work I am assaulted by red cups, Christmas merchandise, holiday drinks, and Christmas music before Thanksgiving. It's not that I am Ebenezer Scrooge here, but I am fully convinced that Christmas is one day. Not a fifth season like all of our favorite corporations would have you believe.

Anyhow, with Christmas come presents, and I have already participated in one gift exchange. My family on my Mom's side drew names so that we each shopped for a single person. My Uncle drew my name and I was so pleased to unwrap a set of heavy-body acrylic paints and four large canvases. It was perfect. For months I haven't painted simply because I haven't had supplies. Now that I do, I think that today is the day.

I have about six hours until I have to work, so I'm going to try to paint a masterpiece. Who knows? If it's good, I might post it here.

P.S.  I am thinking about starting a blog that deals only with my art, It would be the perspective of an untrained, impoverished, artist doing the best he can with he has. Thoughts?
