Me, A Painter?

Ever since Santa Fe, I've had an image in my head that haunts me. Actually, it is two images, the same scene from two different points of view. And after days of denying it, I'm now sure that I need to capture this image in art. I see the finished products in my head as well. And they are PAINTED! But I'm not a painter. Sure, I can paint backgrounds for other artwork, but actually paint an image? I've never done it before with any level of success.

I realize that the only thing standing between me and my painter inner being is this limiting idea that I'm not a painter. So I embrace this challenge, and will honor this haunting image by capturing it to the best of my ability.

Is anyone else excited about the rubber stamp show in Mesa, Arizona next week? I love seeing what everyone has to offer, and spend a great deal of time at the Magenta booth drooling over the images. I was out of town for the show in March, so I'm especially excited because it has been a whole year!

I'm making slow progress on my Santa Fe trip photos on Flickr.
