"First of all,look at that term "original." The root word is "origin,"and you are the origin of your art. If you are true to yourself,if you convert honestly and accurately what you wish to express,your work will be original. You may think I am playing with semantics,but I am not. When work is "boring"---which I understand to be your great fear--it is usually because it is not honest enough."  ~Julia Cameron,Letters to a Young Artist

02/20/15 | The winters of North Carolina

(Brendan's truck) When he got this little beaut I took one look and named it the Black Beast.

The thing about North Carolina is that we have the most unpredictable and inconsistent weather in the whole east coast. Just two weeks ago it was sunny and 70 degrees,now it is single digits with snow and ice on the ground. I loved the snow! Bren came over and went sledding with me and my little sister and we had such a time! Now the world seems to have iced over and it is about 2 degrees. Ok winter,it's time for you to let spring have it's turn. Until then,I will wrap up in a blanket and hibernate…with coffee of course.
