My break from painting oils has continued throughout the entire month of February. I have also cut way back on my computer time this month in regards to posting what I'm doing on my blog, putting on Facebook, Pinterest, my website, etc. I have put a few photos on Instagram, mainly because it's so easy! It has just been a lot lately, and I was missing too much time with my little guys.
