Looking forward to an artful weekend!

Hi guys! And gals! Thanks for stopping by...hope this Thursday finds you doing well and excited for a nice weekend! The  weather here is suppose to be great and I hope it is..looking forward to getting out to do some photos...have been collecting all sorts of information on submitting some work to Somerset Studios publications...I do not know what has kept me from doing so prior to now, I think I second guess myself and admire so many of the artists featured in many of their publications and always think to myself....nooo my work isn't good enough to be in that magazine...but that is not true. I think we all have out own special unique qualities and have the same chances in life and opportunities as the next person. What would really stink is never submitting out of fear of failure and then never knowing if they would have chose my work for something. So..because a great deal of my work is very personal and hard to part with I am creating 6-7 works of art that is for the sole purpose of submitting and I have been using opportunities here and there when time permits to work on these things. Some of the deadlines for submitting just passed and the next ones are coming up in August and again in December so I have some time to play with, no rushing though I do tend to work well under pressure...I will give it all I've got and see where it goes. Wish me luck friends..its a huge dream of mine.
Been working on some images and effects / tool in Photoshop trying to achieve this one effect / look that I have been seeing in some images lately and its been a adventure..nerve wracking at times cause just when I think I have figures it out I found out that I have not really gotten that close..lol
Here are a few things I've been playing with to close this blog entry. Closing at work tonight and don't get off until 8:30 but will be turning my music on...and painting, sketching, cutting up things and creating! Looking forward to a great weekend! I hope yours is a blast too! Man I love Spring / Summer!
:)
