Welcome, I am finally out of Bedrock!

Well, here we go. This is my first blog. It took a long time to start this blog because I was nervous. I was afraid to crawl out from under my rock. I am an introverted person. If it was up to me, I would just make a living as an artist in my studio and not come out. I would tell people that I don't want to be famous, I just want to paint for a living ! It is not that simple. I am starting to learn to come out of my shell of protection for the past two years. I have been involved with local group exhibits. I always have to stand up and make a presentation about my artwork and myself. To stand up in front of a group of people for a presentation is not easy. I would rather " Play handball in the of traffic, on a freeway, while wear nothing but thong that talk about myself." Yuck! I'm sorry, that was too much information.
You have to put yourself out there as an artist. Making a beautiful painting is not enough. The story behind the beautiful painting makes it complete. People have to know who I am and what I am about. I was given the gift to paint. I have worked hard many years to build my skills as an artist. At one time, I became discouraged and I stop painting for about five years. I was miserable andI couldn't understand why. I wasn't expressing myself as an artist. all the ideas and emotions was bottled up inside me. I felt as if I was going to explode. Once I started painting again, I felt relieved and content.
Faith has led my through my creative process now. I am unstoppable now!

I also have a website: http://www.bond.myexpose.com/
