Follow us around the Easel
Is it Sunday today? Well, my computer says it is!
Is it so different from any other day?
Since I have been living as an artist, Sundays have ceased to mean anything different to me, apart from the fact that our food supply shop is closed.
And since I joined the Easelspace Team, about 2 months ago, well, the food supply problem has taken care of itself, as I hardly have any time left to eat!
But honestly: I love my life as an artist, and I love to work for Easelspace. Always trying to better the place, to find new ideas to keep it attractive for the artists and the visitors (and for us too of course!), to solve the occuring problems, to help our members to reach their goals, this all keeps our brains wonderfully active for about 48 hours out of 24!
Now we enjoy following you, through your paintings and other activities here. We thought you might be interested in following us too. This is why we have decided to regularly let you know, by virtue of this blog, how things stand, what we do, what we feel, what we want, what we don't want, what we hope, simple human stuff like that.
It would be great to hear your feedback sometimes, we are all human and we all need to know how we stand in this world! :-)
That's all for now, have a lovely (Sun)day!
Easel-ly yours
Miki

The Sun is shinning or us today, which puts me in a great place. Hoping to wet my brushes latter today well that the plan.

There was a time in my life when I had what people still call "a real job" (although i was certainly working much less than nowadays, but well, many people don;t understand that being an artist is a job too, especially since we have internet....), and I used to hate the Sundays, simply because they were so close to the working Monday... each Sunday evening I had the feeling to "die" a little bit.. was awful, and I ma glad this is PAST.
If it is YOU the cook in the family, then I guess you have not much rest Sundays mornings... cooking for many people is a tough job, i think... I am glad I can't cook at all, so nobody is tempted to use our home as a restaurant!
