here I go - me blogging!

I am back to painting full-time! I love waking up in the morning, looking forward to a day of painting. There's much more to do in a painter's day than paint, however. I need to redesign my website www.loiseakin.com, framing, photographing work, searching for new and interesting objects to add to my paintings, and now blogging.

I kicked off my new life by entering a competition. I joined Oil Painters of America on Wednesday and entered their annual competition last night (last day to enter). See below painting. I don't expect to win any awards, but enjoyed the process. Made me feel like a real painter. 

Come follow me along in my journey, a painter's life can get lonely.
