I'm having so much fun.

 





The first image is from my last blog. The next two are what I painted on the first. I will be painting more. I just don't know what. I'm having the time ever working on this piece and I don't want to stop. The rubber ducks lost at sea in a storm is my current life situation. Except its not.  These ducks are enjoying the neck out of the storm and the spray of salty water in their faces. They have no idea there's any danger. 

I'm so into this painting and the party its taking me to that I stopped worrying. I'm finally able paint again and I'm taking my time, !earning again and creating a world of whimsy all out of head. There will be a video and since I keep forgetting to record, it will be short. But I think what I have to say during the video is as important as the painting. Wee, you tell me after you see it, after I finish it.

I have no idea what I'm doing


 I was back to white on black and then graphite and then charcoal and now! Now I'm experimenting with acrylic ink after a failed attempt at Squeegee art. What I saw was that it wasn't a medium for representational art and a waste of paint. Now I'm back to creating a background from the inks and hoping to be able to add to the canvas board with the inks or neocolor2 or acrylic markers or all three.  

I'm completely bonkers in all things creative and I so want to find my vision as opposed to my voice. This week in the midst of work and appointments I'm hopeful that  I will be inspired in selection of media and find some direction. This week I just want to close down all social media outlets fir my art and forget it all. I have only the above photo to share.

Have to go. One of my day jobs is calling.

Art on black paper.


 This is the free hand drawing of two crows and the moon that I will be workin on this week. I really believe that I'm finally ready to give up tracing and griding once again. Freehand drawing is just so much mire satisfying.  Even the moon is freehand. I'd thought I would have to use a compass but I do believe om back. I'm also pleased that I'm not using a reference photo or photos. I'm not sure how the highlighting will turn out but I'm the only one who knows if there is ambient lighting.
