I’ve been staring at a 2′x3′ blank canvas sitting on a shelf behind my sofa for going on 9 months. That’s right. Nine whole months. In my head, I have this brilliant idea of what I want it to be – graphic, dynamic, edgy, sophisticated, filled with movement. But I’ve been struggling with working up the courage to dip my brush into the paint and finally commit to creating my “masterpiece”.

Enter new inspiration: the finger-painting-esque abstract art of Yolanda Sanchez. Below are a few of my favourites. You can see more of her work at this website: Kathryn Markel Fine Arts.

So… I did something really stupid…

I’ll spare you the details, but in a nut shell: I completely screwed up my archives. All of the images are messed up and missing. It’s not a pretty sight. I freaked out a fair bit at first – after all, I have over 300 entries and have poured countless hours into arranging my posts so just and well, it’s pretty much lost now. So yes, I’m very frustrated and annoyed with myself right now. But, I’m trying not to think about it. All of my entries are still there, mind you, they’re just image-less now. Grr. But I have more important things to worry about right now. I will continue posting as usual, all this means is simply… if you want to read older entries, technically, you still  can, but all you’ll get is text, no images. Eventually, I’ll fix them, but for the time being… I’m sorry that you’ll have to suffer through those hideous “Image Not Available” messages from Flickr. :( Right now, my priorities include: final projects (freaking out a little over these!), preparing for my travels to Australia (only a month away!), and making sure all new posts have correctly working images.

On the positive: I didn’t lose everything, so I’m very thankful for that.

And now, I think I need some ice cream so that I can wallow and try to console myself. Then I go about inventing a time machine so I can stop myself from getting into this mess to begin with!!
