Where has the time gone



So were over half way through August and I recall having a blog of sorts.. *blushes* lol

I have been so busy of late doing a variety of events and things in my life. Paramount on that list is I have gone back to work as an art camp teacher. For those of you that know me personally, yes you were right - I love teaching art!! For those that don't know me well, you'd think so to if you saw me in person. I love what I do. the kids are fantastic, and what they make is fantastic. I work for a company called Academy of Art, we only use high quality materials, and college level criteria toned down so a 6 year old can understand. They gobble it up and create amazing pieces. I will post some images so you can see what my boys have done.

I have also been involved with my guild putting together what we call "Front Range Exhibit" This is a m0monumental event that includes kids and adults of all ages, who can submit one piece of artwork. This show is going to be fantastic!! I am excited to see all the pieces . See the way the registration goes is it's by mail - the first 110 I get are the ones that get into the show - artwork unseen. What they do goes in - as long as it's family friendly of course considering it will hang in the library for one month. The applications are already in - however - if your reading this - you are cordially invited to the reception on October 23rd, 2009 at the Phillip S. Miller Library from 6:30-8 to celebrate in the creations that hang there!! Please come join us.

On a similar note I am in a gallery at 240 s. Wilcox St. Castle Rock Colorado 80104 called On the Street Gallery. Our next reception will be September 19th, 2009 from 2-8. A drawing will take place with prizes awarded for those who guess "Where in Colorado" some of our pieces that hang in this show are - kids and adults alike can participate!

I just finished a piece that I will post here - a study on phoenix's - It doesn't have a title, but it is finished. It is the first of many.

Currently I am working on two commissions for a lovely lady - portraits. They will post to my website when they are finished.

Creatively - I'm so busy just going it's hard to recall where I've been. I have rocks to wrap in wire to raise money for our event, I have angels to make and put up on Etsy and Ebay. I have baby blankets made of fleece and flannel to make and post, and I have my family to care for. Just on the go go go!!

I hope this finds you creating!!

The house is quiet. It is strange still not having my kids full time. I thought I would find myself endlessly creating with wild abandon. That hasn't been the case. In fact most of the time I spend the time reflecting on what makes me tick. I have told my therapist I am my own best subject - I honestly mean it. I have turned my life inside out and backwards in my mind in the attempt to seek a healthy mentality. My life isn't that different from most people - we all have our trials and our tribulations. We all face challenges in a myriad of ways and live the life we've been given in the ways we see fit. What I'm finding as the days pass and I get used to being on my own is that creativity still runs through my veins as strongly as ever. It is presenting itself in different ways though. I write alot more, I've reinvented my wardrobe, My arrangements are getting better and quicker. My jewelry is taking on a whole new flavor, and I have a collection of sh...

The quest for monies took all my minutes and brain powers this last week.  January quest was stopped at drawing #9. Quest complete - but not completed. Now on to the next quest!  (can't stop the momentum - just need to keep showing up to the canvas) February is a sketchbook diary - something I have wanted to try for awhile now. I am three days into February and just starting - so behind but not behind.  Just need to get my journal set up for three pictures at least and keep going.  I will post pictures here as well as my Instagram account which can be found here:  https://www.instagram.com/tina.nordloh/ The day is almost half over - time to get my journal going :D

New Life

So much has changed since my last post, and yet in a way nothing has changed. I am still seeking balance within myself. I am still trying to figure out what life and living is. The one answer I have found to be true is that I wasn't being true to myself. Due to that real failing towards myself I couldn't be much for anyone else around me. The past couple of months I have made tough decisions for the betterment of all. Some have called those decisions selfish - but if they had walked in my shoes and saw and felt what I felt they may or may not have made the same decisions. I don't posses any mind other than my own - and therefore cannot make any decisions beyond those I feel are the best for myself and my children at the time the decision is made. As a result of those decisions I sit in my own place, an apartment I now call home filled with light and color. There has been a series of emotional battles fought upon these floors - all within my own mind and heart. At f...
