I spent the afternoon, or the later part of it, writing. I feel like I'm about to finish Siva's book and I probably have a couple thousand words or so left to it. It excites me that I'm so close to being done with this book, though I'm torn about what I'm going to go … Continue reading Whole squash? Will it cook?
I'm trying to get braver with my painting. It's hard. Recently, I thought about painting crystals in some of my works. The issue? I've never painted crystals. So I had to go learn how to do that, which ended up to be the easy part. Eventually, I would have to sit down and give it … Continue reading Crystals found
Serious. That's what my critical voice wanted me to be. More serious. It wanted to rob me of the play and joy I find in creating. That was actually the second thing I learned by stopping to take a moment to listen to what my critical voice was yelling at me about. The first was … Continue reading The noise subsides
Instead of writing while I watered the garden tonight, I did some sketching. No, the picture above is not it. That's one I did a few years ago for Inktober. I'm not ready to show the one I did tonight. It always scares me a little when a sketch turns out decently. Drawing, painting, and … Continue reading Sketching in the garden
I couldn't bare to look at that awful painting I had started. I just couldn't do it. Yet, it was what was before me on the easel, so I turned on Beauty and the Beast and sat down to paint. Let's be honest: I was absolutely hating this piece even before I sketched in the … Continue reading Revising the painting
Woke up this morning to at least 2 more inches of snow. Above is a closeup of Merlin in the snow this morning. Kevin made paths through the snow for the dogs earlier, but they had nearly vanished. Here's that picture: You can see Kreeli's footprints just beyond Merlin. She's lost in the snow somewhere. … Continue reading More snow, more painting
Did a fair amount of sketching today. Worked on a couple more ACEO's today which will go on my Patreon page. But here's a small painting that is in process. Work in process This one will probably be finished tomorrow. I feel like I'm trying to get up the courage to work on a larger … Continue reading A work in progress and fear
I got up and wrote some this morning, but then we needed to go to town for some shopping. That took more time than expected. Since then, I've been working on my homework assignment for class this week. I was just able to finish the videos last night, so I feel like I've been up … Continue reading Working on homework
Some while back, I had two posts about a painting I was working on. I finally got back to that painting. Find post 1 here. Find post 2 here. So this is where I ended last time: When I looked at it today, I felt like I'd lost the depth in the piece. Now I … Continue reading Let’s see what happens – Day 3
I'm posting this a little early today. I'm afraid what my mood is going to degrade into as the evening progresses. Oh, the day started off fine. Then I listened to some truths and spoke some truths out into the world. Aren't I smarter than that? No one cares. Literally, no one cares. I would … Continue reading Let’s see what happens – Day 2
