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 used to make French Toast on a regular basis when my boys were younger. Yesterday as I was making myself breakfast, I got a hankering for French Toast, but since I already had breakfast cooking, I wasn’t going to change then. I decided to make it today. And I failed. Miserably. Yeah, I did … Continue reading French Toast gone wrong
I think I'm going to need a new tag for my blog. This one will be called, "lessons to remember." Yes, a great note to myself. And why do I come to this decision? Because I had a realization I know I've had before: that I need to draw more. Okay, it actually is a … Continue reading Devil in the details
I began setting up my tracking spreadsheet last night. Still trying to get used to it. Still have a lot of work to do, but at least it's a start. I feel like I've learned a lot today and gotten a lot done, even though it's just been in small segments. But that's the plan, … Continue reading Every day better
I had a change of heart. Last night when I wrote my blog, I didn't image that I'd ever be showing the painting I did yesterday. But as I proceeded with working through the technique it sought to teach me, I changed my mind. So, here is the painting: Yep, it really is that bad. … Continue reading Never meant to see the light of day
Painting today. Remember those crystals I'd wanted to work on? Well, I continued to experiment with that. This is a painting I'd started awhile back and I knew it would have crystals in it, but I was brave enough to finish it today. Here it is: Crystal painting6″x4″ acrylic on canvas panel©2022 Dawn Blair Now, … Continue reading Crystals again
I’m about to go play with some markers. But I remembered that before I did that, I needed to write my blog. Since I had to grab my sketchbook, I thought I’d share an image I have planted for a painting someday. It’s the picture above. Well, I’m off now to play with markers. I’ll … Continue reading Sketchbook
I am nearly finished with the last book in Mercedes Lackey's Joust series, Aerie. I can't help the feeling that she had intended on building up to another book or two in the series. It'll be interesting to see how it ends and how she wraps it up. I'll be sad if there are several … Continue reading Aerie
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
Earlier this evening, I had started another blog post that was supposed to go up tonight. But then I fed the pets for a second time and I washed dishes for the second time, and while doing that I knew I'd be writing a blog post for the second time. I drew the line at … Continue reading A second time
