Blogging isn't a priority for me, and I can say that it is nice to only peep in once in a while on this website. Life is much greater than the social media posts and the countless minutes spent updating a profile- this we all know. But this is something that I have been changing in my life through the past two years. Removing some profiles off some social media platforms has given me a fresh new outlook on who I want to be and the woman my Heavenly Father wants me to be. I am not bummed that I don't post as much as I should on my blog, because my life is for me to cherish. I have seen plenty of blogs- wonderful and great ones- that bring great messages, but also great expectations. My reality doesn't need to be shared the way the world wants me to share. And that's wonderful to me. I hope that this blog will be more aimed towards sharing my current artwork and my work I am doing, and spreading the word for my skill work; instead of a blog about lifestyle and my life that I'm having. I am able to stretch my boundaries outside of profile painting and dipping my hand into En Plen Air painting. I don’t get on too often to share my work (and hoping this to change- obviously shows my work load... haha). But a few weekends ago, me and my family took a very needed and loved weekend as we spent time with my dear parents and a few siblings of mine. I can’t get enough of the beautiful season of autumn. We were in Soda Springs, Idaho, and I was pretty happy to try my hand at En Plein Air painting of where our cozy cabin was. Pulled out this guy within a few hours outside and was such a treat to capture such a beautiful place in my memories. Yes I am still painting, and yes I can take commissions. Currently finishing up a book for a sweet lady and maybe I should be sharing that too. But man.... I sure love to paint- even if I feel like I am not very good. Please enjoy this quick piece I did, “Overcast in Soda Springs”. I have also begun a fun journey that I enjoy very much- teaching Art Lessons! I'm very humbled to have others think that I am a 'worthy' enough teacher for their children... What a neat opportunity to expand and share my passion in other ways! Thank you for continuing to support a stay-at-home mother artist. I have never been happier in my life, and it's great thanks to my Heavenly Father and my Savior. Stay Peachy, Gretchen O'Neill
