+Thank you all so very much for the support. I love you all.

+My husband wants a divorce. I will be getting my affairs in order of the next months and I'm not sure how this will affect my art schedule. We are still living together in separate rooms while we try to get the money to get me an apartment. We are trying to split amicably.

I'm in quite a bit of shock, and right now taking it moment to moment. In a lot of pain, crying from time to time and then for a while I'm okay. Keeping myself busy so that I don't think about it.

+I will be showing at Multiversal Group Show [link] and Feminality [link] Miami.

+Working on the series Ghosts of Mississippi.

+I am working on a ten piece series entitled "Ghosts of Mississippi". I envision it'll consist of six paintings and four drawings. I'll be working on it a lot, probably at least until January. I will be posting works in progress, some sketches, but don't think I'll post the finished paintings until the entire series is done.

+I've been off and on sick, it's really fucking me over with getting anything useful done. But I'm trying to work through it. I've got a lot of Art Hive stuff coming up that will keep me busy as well.

+The Art Hive is an Alabama art cooperative, a big group of Al artists that work together in the Florence area. We'll be doing a yard sale and art supply trade next weekend @ my house in Florence. Sunday, November 1st if you're near Sheffield, Al come to the Railroad Bridge Show to hear a lot of good bands. More information here -> [link]

At the RR Bridge Show, I'll prob be selling tshirts and buttons. No new stock, but I think I'll take my small wood cross section and work on drawing. So you can always come out to watch me draw.

+New blog photos from my Tupelo, MS trip posted here: [link]

Some of the brands from photos: Owl Purses from Charm Design at Etsy. Dress was from Pure Energy, a plus-size line. Shoes are from Mudd. Pull over cardigan is Mossimo brand. If you like the necklace, sorry I don't know where it came from. It's some costume jewelry piece I got from somewhere.

+Got over the flu and then got sick again. Shitty for me, I know. I'm getting over it and now trying to get back at arting. I'll work hard at it.

+I'd like to say hello to 170 new watchers. I appreciate each and every one of you watching my work. Normally, I like to thank each watcher individually, but this time I'd like to do so by journal. Adcast brings in a flood of people all at once and with me being down with the flu last week, I will have to either spend my time commenting on DA or painting. Figure you guys would rather me shutup and just paint. ^^

+I've got nothing to show for last week. Sorry. Was down with the flu. Got a couple of scrap doodles that I've added to the gallery but not much else. Now I'm going to be working a little next week and then also playing catch up from missing a week's worth of work.

+Art in the Works: Three oil paintings. Ghosts of Mississippi is in progress. It's pretty too. I think everyone will be pleased with the new painting. Other Paintings, Devil Went Down to Georgia (25"x25" wood) and Mayfly II (10 inch wood cross-section) will be in progress over the next month. Also, another bird drawing (ink on bristol) for the Art Hive this time.
