Arizona and Colorado go so well together.   You can’t beat March and April in Arizona not to mention spring training for the Rockies Baseball.  It is like Colorado summer weather 60’s in the morning climbing to 80’s in the afternoon.  What a great way to make your summer a little longer and beat the colder weather with beautiful scenery like this shot above.   I was down in Scottsdale  to celebrate my Mom’s 83rd birthday and it was a great week off the grid and very fun time with her.

I always know when I am not leading a balanced life. My OCD kicks in and I start to obsess about things like Twitter, Pinterest and Fine Art America. I check my phone for updates too much and I stare at my computer screen a lot more than is healthy. My art is my passion and I create for the joy of discovery, but I also run a full-time business. My duties include but are not limited to:  painting, photography, data entry, marketing, public affairs, inventory, custodial, packaging, bookkeeping and customer service. Whenever I hear a 9 to 5er complaining about overtime, I just chuckle to myself. Most people do not know what true overtime is! But today I am taking a break. After I finish a few of my daily tasks, I am going to take care of “me”.  Mani Pedi here I come!
