well as the new year and new challenge of painting or making one artwork a day approaches there are quite a few emotions that have tried to overcome me. The excitement of facing a challenge being the best, or fear of not being able to pull it off being the worst. which really isn't that bad. the main thing i want to keep in mind while doing this is the reason for doing it. It's not about me, it's about doing what I feel like God is asking me to do, that being to bear a burden to the best of my ability with a fellow christian and my aunt. after struggling with cancer for 5 years you would think that committing to one year of something, so seemingly miniscule as a painting a day, would be easy.

| the wood for making canvas frames (doesn't look like much) |
I've taken some pictures this morning of some of the materials i've already started to put together in preparations. so far i cut six-36" boards, twelve-24"boards and twenty four- 12" boards...and after doing the math realized that was only enough to make 10 frames and half of another one....yikes! making frames it going to be a bit of a pain. i love painting i just wish i didn't have to make my frames to go along with those! haha. I also bought a 21 yard roll of canvas...that should last A WHILE! at least i hope it does.

| sorry it's sideways. this is the 21 yard roll of canvas propped up against the wall |
as you think of it if you will please pray for my aunt carla that she would feel a renewed strength, hope and encouragement as the new year begins!
