My life is busier than ever and spasmodic with the time that I spend painting. It seems that I am painting flat out with little time for anything else then flat out with other things and no time for painting. But hey my cup is well and truly full so I really can't complain.Susan Borgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035002453074965953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19576178.post-84116795723223084942008-12-08T22:39:00.000+10:302008-12-08T22:39:00.000+10:30This is gorgeous!

I was being consumed in my head thinking about what to write in my blog and how to improve it rather than my actual work as an artist. These days the paintings that I am developing seems to take more of my time rather than the opposite. I guess that is because of my realist style and wanting to expand into more difficult terrain with my work and at these times I prefer to focus just on that job at hand. I just wish writing came as naturally to me as my art does then I might be able to keep up with you…..chuckle! I love to read your blog and today I am going to catch up with some posts that I have missed. <BR/><BR/>I have also noticed quite a few bloggers have stepped back from posting and like you I use a feedreader in the hope that they may start posting at a later time. :D<BR/><BR/><B>Rose & Susan</B> The husband thought he was getting a holiday for his surprise gift and he said to me he rather have the painting. LOL<BR/><BR/><B>Diane</B> When you figure the ‘lack of time’ out and how to manage it, let me know will ya! :D<BR/><BR/><B>Robyn</B>Thanks for your understanding and yes I will share my work.Susan Borgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035002453074965953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19576178.post-20705778374329839912008-02-07T05:06:00.000+10:302008-02-07T05:06:00.000+10:30Well you have been missed, Susan but this picture ...Well you have been missed, Susan but this picture was really worth waiting for! What a wonderful mood. No wonder that bloke loved it. <BR/>Much as I enjoy your blog, if I have to make a choice, I'd rather you painted than blogged - as long as you share your paintings. :)Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19576178.post-18647165824170267382008-02-07T02:39:00.000+10:302008-02-07T02:39:00.000+10:30Hi Susan,I was delighted to get your newsletter in...Hi Susan,<BR/><BR/>I was delighted to get your newsletter in my email box this morning!!

Gorgeous colours and I think you've done really well with tackling the 'black hole' syndrome.<BR/><BR/>I do indeed know how demanding blogs can be of your time and they can threaten to take over at times if blogging becomes almost 'addictive'. I've found that regular breaks and time-outs help a lot. Overall, I've also found they help with my art in terms of keeping me focused - along the lines of I do less but think more. But it works in a different way for everybody and the big thing is to find your own way.<BR/><BR/>Good to have you back.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.com
