It's been too long!

Oh boy! times does pas by too quickly and from what I have read from my lasts two posts I 've written the same thing "it's been too long since I have written or posted anything..." So many things have happened in the last year, some great, not so great, good changes (because changes are always good :) and allot of growing up to do! You see, not because I am 41 means that I am all grown up and I finally figured everything out, I am a "work in progress" and will always be. I took time off from the blog because other areas of my life needed more attention without realizing that actually posting in my blog has always been important in my personal growth.. I AM BACK! :) I got a camera for my birthday and its been allot of fun playing with it and recording all the wonderful changes that also the city that I live in is going through. I have a personal project that I am working on that I promised myself to complete that I will be sharing soon. In the meantime, I am getting warm up again and starting to write in my blog. Here are some pictures that I have posted on my instagram account: vazquezsary. Please feel free to share any thoughts!

miss creating...miss posting...

it seems that all my recent posts if any are about the same thing...miss creating, miss posting.. it's been difficult getting started, i feel like i have lost my creativity... for relaxation i made this..i'm already wondering who i'll mail them to?

little things...little lessons...

This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. ― Rumi

Painting Challenge - Collages No. 6, 7 & 8

Let me just say that I love reading artists' blogs. I have found them to be informative, inspiring and also I have been lucky enough to get to know a couple of wonderful artists. But is it just me? Many of these blogs make the artists' lives seemed so perfect and have it all together. While this is one of the things that inspire me to keep pursuing my dream, I also feel helpless. I have been going through challenges in identifying my style and been consistent with it - I really have a hard time deciding and I tend to get off track easily. I have a full time job and I dedicate allot of my free time to my art. I have been fortunate to work on freelance jobs but I am still in this journey of finding my "niche". Because I think I have just been "over thinking" too much; I decided to start for myself "100 Bad paintings/creations challenge", for the solely purpose to go back to where I started since I was a little girl, enjoy creating and not worrying about where this is going to take me. Have you ever felt this way at one point of your artist life? Have you ever doubted where you life was heading? I read recently something that has resonated in me from Anais Nim: “Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”
