Never Give Up

I finally got a new painting started! Go me!
I'm painting Fall leaves in Spring. Ha! Oh well. I've been wanting to paint this image for some time, now.

Boy, that garage gets cold too. I think I need to set a super space heater in there. I've also got to install some lights. It's pretty dark in there if the door isn't open...

It's going to be great once the weather gets a bit nicer. If it ever does get nicer ;)

I did my taxes yesterday and that was a huge bummer. It got me a bit down, just thinking about how hard I work, and how much I put myself into everything I do, only to get so little in return...

But, I don't want to give up. I want to keep working hard and I'm hoping that I'll be able to make these ends meet some day. "Never, ever, ever, ever, ever give up," has been my mantra the last couple of days...

anyway, I'm back in my "studio" tomorrow and I'm hoping to get another painting started!
