Because of my day tomorrow, I must not linger tonight. I just hope I can sleep. I'm terrified of waking up at 2 in the morning because I've thrown myself off schedule and not being able to sleep. Oh well. If that happens, I'll deal with it. I wish I was getting more writing done. … Continue reading Dream journal?
I didn't mean to, but I think I took today as a lazy day. I just can't seen to get too excited about doing anything. Unfortunately, that might be delaying the finishing of my Arlyn story. On the other side, I have been journaling about restarting my art today. That's such a struggle. And yet, … Continue reading Delay or just lurking?
Dean Wesley Smith often repeats Mike Resnick’s saying. “If you aren’t earning $500 per day, you are not having a good day.” For the last month, I have really taken this advice to heart. I admit that I’ve modified it compared to the way he’s using it. I’ve been using it as a gauge for … Continue reading Values or just fake numbers
I spent my painting time today photographing to catalogue them. I was glad to find that the one I thought I’d mid-numbered wasn’t actually numbered. For some reason, maybe an alternate universe sliding over, I never actually put the sequence on it, never written it on the substrate. I don’t know why I thought I … Continue reading Photos that sit
So, last night I fully intended to wake early, get my 1,000 words in, then spend the rest of the day painting. I fully thought I’d be start painting about 11:00 this morning. Yeah. Here’s what really happened. I had a hard time waking up and didn’t manage to stay awake until 9 this morning. … Continue reading All good things in time
I broke out the airbrush today. Yes, I feel like I spent more time cleaning up than actually using it, but I got some results I’m very happy with. I also stocked up on canvases today. Or I thought I had. (Grin) The picture at the top of the blog was half of a full … Continue reading Painting and more
I’ve been focusing on words today. I’ve been half wondering if that is fear of stepping up to the easel. I’m going to write a quick blog, then I’m going to go prove myself wrong, even if I only get a little bit of painting done today. I will get to the easel. Last night, … Continue reading Words and templates
As stated last night, I wanted to do another painting with the same composition. So, today I started that, but I changed it up a bit. I figured if foreground was bugging me, let there be more of it. And maybe I kept it simple, but baby steps. So the picture at the top of … Continue reading Foreground training
Last night was hard. When I write my blog, I didn’t want to admit how I’d been completely stopped on the painting I’d been working on. As much as I wanted to write last night after finishing the blog, I found it hard to sit down and start the process after the depressing stop to … Continue reading Gold star
I decided to go back to town to continue my shopping today. I tried to make it quick. Here’s my happy co-pilot: Then I spent the afternoon painting nebulae. I finished one (or very early because I still have edges to do) and have three more in process. Then I tried numbering some paintings and … Continue reading Happy co-pilot
