This was a real challenge for me to start up this blog

Hi, my name is Lena Rasmussen and I am an artist. I have been admiring the art of many daily painters for about two years now. Ever since I read all about Duane Keiser in my monthly Artist's magazine nearly two years ago. I was fascinated with his works ! I truly admired what he was doing and I wanted to do what he was doing... so much ! I just can't believe that it has taken me almost two years to go for it !

I am a great procrastinator I will admit. And I am nearly always late for all my deadlines and appointments. I have read it is because the artist's mind is just so busy with too many pictures and thoughts that we actually lose track of time.

Just tonight I have gotten over my procrastination and silly shyness to post some of my daily paintings and my daily words. I just have to get on with it.

I have been showing my artworks locally here on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada -- just to finally try and move forward ! Have you ever gotten stuck in the everyday cycle of not having enough time or energy to move forward ? I had to keep reminding myself what have I got to lose ? I lose more if I don't take these chances...

I plan to also post some of my other paintings that have taken me from a few hours to many many days to almost complete.
