Pre-Summer Solstice
It has been a while since I have updated this. I have just been very busy. First of all my art work commissions have been slowly but steadily increasing. As I may have mentioned before I put a paining in Lawrenceville “Art All Night”. It was a great experience. Lots of great work. I sold my painting! I sold it for $40.00. I was very happy with that. Later in June I will be putting two paintings in to an art event called “The Melting Pot”.
In my home town
spring fair “Clinton Spring Fair” I put in two paintings and won first and second place.
First place on =>
and second place on=>
Besides that I have had tattoo commissions, book marks and small paintings.
I’ve been going to the gym at least 6 days a week. I do a lot more jogging than I used to as well as more free weights. I have also started taking more specific vitamins and drink a lot more water.
Work… well work is work but I can tolerate it a lot more now. I still hate getting up in the morning but there are 2 or 3 people that have been making it a little (just a little mind you) more worth while.

I also went out and bought a wireless mouse (refer to the pic) and a lap top back pack I will probably be using it a lot.
I also got a new car! The Saturn’s engine started to act weird and I found out that it’s rings were going bed. That would cost more than the car is worth to fix. SO, I got a used (new to me though) Mazda 2000 Protégé. It is BEAUTIFUL. It is my fav car. It works great, I love the colour, amazing sound system and a sun roof (never had one of those before)
Kokeshi I has! I started collecting Kokeshi dolls from 
ipedia “Kokeshi (小芥子 kokeshi), are Japanese dolls, originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. The body has a floral design painted in red, black, and sometimes yellow, and covered with a layer of wax. One characteristic of Kokeshi dolls is their lack of arms or legs. The bottom is marked with the signature of the artist.Kokeshi was first produced by Kiji-shi (wood artisans) in Shinchi, in Togatta/Miyagi Prefecture from where Kokeshi making techniques spread to other spa areas in the Tōhoku Region. It is said that these dolls were originally made from the middle of the Edo period (1600-1868) to be sold to people who were visiting the
Nothing else really. Next time though I will be updating from my summer blog http://kellyinthesummer.blogspot.com/
