Not Sleeping

And the sleep thing.... its a tricky one. I told you. I know I have to get up at middle of the night o'clock and I can't fall asleep. I didn't take a nap today. I worked out. I kept moving all day. So why does my brain not want to shut off? I could go out to the studio and paint. I'd totally do it in my nightgown and everything. But once I start that up there's no way I will wind down and sleep. Grrr. Random thought: At my daughter's soccer practice tonight a pigeon flew right into the middle of our group of parents and just hung out with us. I think it was actually someone's pet. It looked to clean and healthy to be a street pigeon. We don't have that many street pigeons in our neighborhood anyway. And it was not afraid of people at all. Art things because I told you if you wanted to know about art related things you would want to come to the blog. I cannot sit around and wait for inspiration to hit. I need...

Stealing time

My schedule is so chaotic. There has been very little time for painting. Still I manage to squeeze in some time. I've also been studying other artists. Refueling my creative reserves if you will.

I've been writing a lot about my pieces as I work on them. I've found that helps me make better decisions on what I'm doing. This is the terrible plein air watercolor I did a couple of weeks ago. I brought it home and started adding to it. Its starting to get there but I may end up doing some collage over it. This was a very good exercise for me. Yes, it was not my best painting but I learned a lot in the process. Forever the student. Working on another landscape. This is the under painting. A process I almost completely stopped doing as I started doing ...

Failed Self Portrait

This one just did not work out. It doesn't look like me and I'm not happy with the colors. I used a thick layer of wood glue glaze over the top of it hoping it would help the color. Unsuccessful. I can't believe how bad this portrait turned out. So, I decided to deconstruct it a bit, No where to go but up, right? Okay. It turned out a bit creepy but it gave me ideas on how to make that wood glue work for me in the future. I consider this one a failure that turned into an opportunity for learning a new technique. I'm kind of excited to try this out on other pieces now.
