Please visit me at my new blog: Howling Dog art studio

I have decided to close this blog.

What ???

Yes, but.... I have moved all context into my other blog: Howling Dog art studio.

Why ???

Because the name Sitting on the Porch does not work for me anymore.
Because I have an Etsy store named HowlingDog art studio, and I'm on Twitter with that name and can also be found on Pinterest with this name, and this other blog I have been using is in name connected.

As both blogs are about my creativity I decided to merge them.

Hope to see you there :)

My creative juices are flowing again.

Wow, I am feeling so very much alive. I'm seeing bright colors, and looking at people, buildings, cars etc when I cycle I see the light and shade of each thing I see. I am looking through painters eyes.

Nooooooo, I have not taking a happy pill.
No, I am not on drugs, nor did I have a drink.

Since participating in this E-course I am feeling so much wonderful energy of every "classmate", it's just bouncing of my screen. Every one of them is so damn talented, I feel very humble being apart of this amazing group.
And amazing enough, everytime I login to our private Facebook page the group seems to grow in numbers. Right now our group is 414 Flyers strong.
414 people who inspire me! From all over the world. This is an amzing experience!

Because of this I have started a new Halloween painting:

The first layer is up and also went in with some details:

Not by a long shot this is finished soon but I love it that I started it. I have had a creative block for so long, I was worried if it would ever come back.

And... because I can never work on 1 project alone I started on a new Lazy Susan as well:

I am feeling energized.

Flying Lessons

I'm very excited. Starting Sunday the 16th at 16:00 p.m. PDT (where I live it will be 9 hours later so on Monday 01:00 a.m) I am taking Flying Lessons.

What?

Nooooo, not those kind. I will not be in the cockpit of an airplane high in the air.

I am participating in an E-course that hopefully will change my life.

Kelly Rae Roberts is an inspiration on living the creative life.
She now offers the last ever Flying Lessons. And it is exactly that.
To spread your creative wings, to jump of that ledge most of us are stuck on (I know I am) and fly into your creative life. To learn, to be inspired, to be inspiring to others, to grow, to be the person you are meant to be. To be the pilot of your life.

I will jump in with a 200% eagerness.

However, I will NOT get up at 01:00 a.m. monday morning.

Also, what I am looking forward to is meeting all the other "Pilots".
I have no idea how many of us there will be but I do know we are an internatonial bunch. Can't wait to bloghop or visit their sites to see the work they make, wether it will be in painting or photography or jewelry making or writing or ..... etc etc etc.

I'm packed, ready to travel...

lets FLY !!!
