Chicken

Yes, I'm still here! (Goodness I haven't blogged in such a long time! I'm sorry about that!) I lost my mojo for painting over the holidays, but thankfully I gave myself a kick in the pants, and started painting again this week.

I've made a list of goals that I want to accomplish this year: they include many things like health & fitness, family, spirituality and creativity. One of my specific goals is to finish my children's illustration portfolio. And to accomplish this, I've set myself a task of one painting per week, until I have a complete portfolio of work that I'm happy with. This is my illustration for this week! I hope these poor chickens can get out this frightful muddle they are about to wake up to!

I've also set myself a task to blog once a week too. So I'll see you back here next week, with a new painting.

Looking forward to seeing you then! xxx

Hi Kaili, good to see you back :0) Love this illustration, this is different to what i've seen you do before. This is a great piece, the colours are so rich and you've captured alot going on. I look forward to seeing more paintings :0)

I always love to see your paintings Kaili - and always love to hear from you too, so I am glad you are back! I'm glad you found your mojo too :) The kind of work that I do about the place is usually not very lasting (scrubbing out the oven; arranging some flowers..), but the work that you and your mojo do is something that you, your children, or someone :) will be able to enjoy having in their lives for probably a long time. Each time you create something, it's going to bring pleasure for many years, which is wonderful, isn't it? :)
I hope you are having a great week!

Wow, Kalli..this is a FINE piece. I sure hope the sweet chicken and baby chicks make it out of this frightful awakening! Good for you for setting those goals..I know you will attain them. I am happy to see you back and for your kind visit! Your work is wonderful and I am so sorry to hear of the devastation in your home town. I hope that the rebuilding is going well and will be swift. Looking forward to seeing your new work next week!

Hi lovely Kaili,
It's been so long since I've been in touch - I'm so sorry ... just wanted to pop by and see if everything is okay. I've lost my mojo for blogging these past few months ... but I miss seeing your gorgeous illos!
Thinking of you,
