Well I am about six weeks out from having delivered my greatest work. World, meet Baby E.:
So this explains the silence lately here on the blog. Silence isn’t exactly an adjective I’d use to describe our household right now, however. Miss E. is wonderful, but quite demanding at the moment. Between nursing, quite a bit of colic, and Mom and Dad’s total lack of decent sleep, I haven’t much time or brain-power to even think about painting! But it will come.
In fact, things are slowly getting more manageable, so we are at a point now where we can begin the process of finding some help so that I can get back to work. If all goes well, I will be back in the studio two or three days a week some time this fall. Meanwhile, motherhood is wonderful, and very hard, and like nothing else I have ever experienced. The baby is very healthy and sweet, and the delivery went off without a hitch; so for this I am very grateful.
To those of you who still check in here from time to time, I appreciate it!! In case you are wondering, IÂ DO have plans to revive my painting career, and this blog along with it, so I hope you’ll keep checking. I’ll be back…

This indeed is a lovely achievement, a work of art! Michaelangelo and Raphael would be envious!
Congratulations!!! She is darling! Thanks for the announcement and sharing the picture! The lack of sleep is the hardest part, as I remember. Maybe we’ll see paintings of Miss E in the future?
That does explain a lot! What a masterpiece!
damn, that kid’s got no color at all. congratulations.
Congratulations! She’s beautiful !
The first baby is always the hardest, so much to learn, and without much sleep! It gets easier with each succeeding one, I promise. (I had six!) But your life will never be the same…and that’s a good thing!
~Well just wonderful !!!!!~

Miss E. is beautiful !
You take my breath away~

Thanks everyone for the congratulations. We are overjoyed with our little daughter. Oh, and I’m happy to say, the colic is now a thing of the past!
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful soul! And I just got this in my email the other day, The Best Friends Guide to Newborns..
( http://www.goddessguidebook.com/guide-to-newborn/ )
Even though your sweet angel is now 5 months new, and no longer a newborn, you may find something useful there, if only that another soul knows you are experiencing. It’s so very hard being a new mama, I’m amazed that you are getting anything done at all! Bless you!
