I didn't make it to the easel today. Sometimes days just work out that way, despite good intentions. But instead of pining for what I didn't get done, here's what I DID get accomplished:
So tomorrow I get to paint all day long. That is, if I can get through enough paperwork tonite. And that might be a stretch, because My Better Half and I are off on a date. And I may have to finish Gone Girl and learn what happens to Amy and Nick......

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me . Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po
That sounds like a great day to me. It may sound strange but that is my ideal day. Sometimes I don't have enough of the business side of art to do. This is my failing entirely. I just keep "painting um'. But that is not why I am writing...
ReplyDeleteI am starting a pet portrait of a orange striped cat and I am hoping to channel your spirit and wisdom on this one.
I have the most trouble with black pets and orange ones. But I will figure it out eventually. I will look for the book you recommended . I haven't had a good read in a long time.
As I always say before starting a painting "I'm going in".
Jo, I think I am just the opposite - I would rather paint, paint, paint.....
DeleteI need to be "going in" myself shortly!! :)
thanks so much for commenting!!
