I'll be back...



Lieve blogvrienden,

Na twee en een half jaar schilderen (bijna dagelijks) en 2 jaar bloggen (één à twee keer per week),
 ga ik een tijdje blogpauze houden.
Maar… ik kom terug, ik beloof het!
Dankjewel voor al jullie steun door de jaren!
Een hug en een appel voor jullie allemaal!

Dear blogfriends,

After two and a half years of painting (almost daily) and 2 years of blogging (once or twice a week), 
I am going to take a blog break.
But ... I’ll be back, I promise!
Thank you for all your support through the years! 
A hug and an apple for all of you!


HAPPY PAINTING EVERYONE!

  1. Dear Judy I miss you! You were a precious friend and I've helped at a time when my blog was still a project ...
    I understand well that study, work concentrated on his painting without worrying about other things can 'be important for an artist, at some point...

    A BIG HUG,DEAR JUDY!

  4. I can well understand - I've only been blogging since the end of June and can see how much time it takes up - difficult to keep up if there are things you need to focus on - it's important to recognise when you need to take that break and concentrate on an aspect of your life which you feel needs attention - wish you the very best and hope it's not too long - you've been a great support to my blog since it started recently and I've been honoured to receive your lovely comments, take care of you xxx

    Michael thank you! I have appreciated your comments and support very much! Blogging is great, and I love all the lovely people I've met online. But it is also time and energy consuming, esp. with a busy job like you have. I know you understand!

    Thank you Cynthia! You take care too!

    Dankjewel Simonne! Ik blijf je volgen!

    Dankjewel Renske! Ben benieuwd wanneer jij weer actief wordt in blogland! We wachten af! :)

  27. Judy you will be missed, as will your lovely paintings and your comments. Your watercolors are so skillfully done, it's hard for me to imagine you need to work on your techniques. Enjoy your break. Blogging is consuming and does take valuable time away from other pursuits. Soak in whatever it is you need and reburst upon the scene the better for it. God Bless.

    Dankje Danielle! Ja bloggen is leuk, het heeft me veel gebracht, maar er gaat best wat tijd in zitten. Nu even niet, maar ik blijf wel bij je langskomen hoor!

    Hi Ann, thank you! You keep three blogs so you are entitled to the feeling! But you take lots of trips to relax in between blogging! :)

  50. Dag Judy,

    Ik las dat je een blogstop ingelast hebt, maar ik wil toch nog even reageren.
    Prachtig, ontzettend knap wat je gedaan hebt. Ik vind aquareleren erg moeilijk, zo af en toe probeer ik het nog wel eens, soms lukt het wel, maar meestal ben ik niet erg tevreden over mijn werk. Ik heb mij meer op acryl verven gestort.
    Ik zal je blog in de gaten houden als je weer komt.

    Lieve groetjes, Joke

  51. I'll be waiting for you, Judy! I'll miss your paintings, and the way they inspire me, but I understand. I've taken internet breaks several times over the years, and they are very important. You have to follow your instinct, and you know when you need a break to decompress. It always turns out to be good for me, and I hope it will be helpful for you, too. Don't set any time limit for yourself...just go with your instinct. When you're ready to come back, you'll know it. Don't force it. We love you! RoseAnn

  53. So you are on vacation. It sounds so right and so healthy.
    Sometimes I think we are all more or less zombies, hidden from real life behind our monitors.
    I try to control my time in internet, but it still wins and keeps devouring my time, memory, attention and concentration.
    I wish you to reach all your goals! Be free.

  54. Judy, I understand perfectly what you are saying.. I've come close to doing that myself. Keeping a blog and visiting others takes a lot of time and we all need a break. Hope to see you back here.

  56. Hi Judy,

    I have followed your art silently (with pretty much no comments). And I do follow many other blogs and keep up with mine. I do not blog for others as much as I blog for myself. My blog became the place where are place not only my art but my thoughts my stories. Yes through blogs we "share" but we also need to remember that the blogging is mostly for us as Artists.

    Your art is very unique and fresh. Come to your blog in a few weeks or so and look at it with other eyes. I've played with my blog recently and made a book through blog2print website. It was already a second volume. And by going through page y page (you don't need to order the book, you can see a preview for free) I all of a sudden saw the progress of me as an Artist and a Soul. Try it, and you will answer a lot of questions.

    So this comments is probably the longest comment I've ever written. But I really wanted to let you knwo that besides doing a great job on blogging and attracting so many artists to your blog (which again is not a sole purpose here) you grew a mile, you became a better person, you learned so much.

    Sorry if I bore you.

    I just wanted to wish you a very good time painting.

    Cheers!
    Irina
