sneak preview

:)
Here is what my 4 x 6 foot painting looked like when I started.

I shot the back of my easel just so you can a good idea of the size.
My '' giant'' studio easel looks small with that canvas on it..lol
My easel can stretch up to 84 inches..( 7 feet ).....so this fitted perfect.

I did the sketch on the canvas by the widow of part of my living room.
The canvas is now in my studio.....safe and sound from the cats...lol

brushing the dust off this one.......

I am still painting my 4 x 6 foot canvas, but to take a break........I decided to finish this one.

almost Christmas

Its 11 am.Dec 24 th...and I am not into the spirit of Christmas this year.
I just want to be alone.....and somehow I am lonely.
I think I will not be posting ( or even reading ) for a while on my regular forums....anyways no one cares...I feel like a ghost.
Maybe it's me.......I don't know....and I don't feel like analyzing the situation at this time.
So tonight it will Tv time..or painting time.

strarting a new painting !

Well I finally got to start the ''big '' painting I wanted to do....2 years ago...sheshhhh
4 feet x 6 feet.....

BF is home for the holidays....so he can watch the cats when I go in and out of my studio.
I know.....I know....your thinking what the cats have to do with me not painting.....lol.
Well all my paints and canvas..and paint brushes are there....a playground for them. As soon as I open the door....they both rush in.....and can I tell you they have a ball making a mess....I can only take one out at a time....then when I try to get the other one out...the other one rushes back in...and this goes on till I give up..and shut the door* groan *.........The last time.......Inka chewed my airbrush hose....It took me 2 weeks to get a replacement....

Oh.about cats...

Inka ( one of my cats ) had a very bad flare up of herpes 3 weeks ago....I almost lost him to an upper respiratory infection. he is fine now, and we are still treating him with Zithromax .
The worst now, is feline herpes attacks the eyes....and Inka already had an eye problem ( he almost lost an eye 18 months ago )
He has antibiotic eye drops 2 times a day to help combat the virus infection in his eyes.
( crossing my fingers for the outcome )

ok.....have to get this out.

I always felt different in my life...
Somehow I knew things or anticipated them before happening.
I am not saying I an a medium.or something like that..lol

Something jump-started my brain..2 months ago.....along the new job.
Problem solving.
Research and development technician.
It was just too easy doing this job.......I started wondering why?

I surprised myself in this job....and the BOSS too...and I started to wonder what the teachers at school ( long time ago ) told my parents....... ''gifted child ''

I took the MENSA test...and was accepted.
Just limit....but 141 is OK.

One Mensian told me this :

Because I am smart, I will feel hurt deeper, sense danger quicker when others are oblivious, and find myself thinking differently to the rest. He also said that I will discover simple joys quicker, live truer and enjoy the gifts of life in ways that others blithely may not.

He hit this on the nail.......
Intelligence isn't limited to our IQ. But to have this ability to learn quickly along with the enthusiasm to apply what one has learned, however small, is a driving force in growth of intellect, I believe.

now I know..once I learn something....why I get easily bored with it after.
Some things I find just too easy at first try...I guess I know why now.
I am constantly searching to outdo myself....in live..art...work....


Relationships were a bit different. In a situation so close and intimate, I knew I wanted a partner who could laugh with me while watching a silly movie, or share my excitement over the nature of what "is" or "is not," etc. My BF and I are our own worst devil's advocates - and it IS fun.

such a Kluts !!!!!

oh.boy.....lol
Was invited to supper Saturady night.
Had fun..but fell down the stairs....hit my head on the door frame.
I lost all memory before and how this happened till the next morning ( Sunday )
I had blurry vision..so I had to consult.
I got released last night at 6:30 pm...from the emergency room.
Passed a taco, and an EEC.
I have a concussion.
My vision is ok now.....phewwww

I will see how it goes at work this morning..*sigh*

WOW.....I have not posted for a while.
I started a new job on Sept. 8th., so it has kept me busy.
Now, I have Fridays off..... :).......so I will be starting some new paintings.
And also finishing the ones I started * blush*

I had started a dyptique of calla lilies...time to finish them.
2 times 30 x 30 inches.

My future ( this month ) project is a 72 x 48 painting of a tiger at a Cambodian temple. Angkor Wat.
The temple is the epitome of the high classical style of Khmer architecture.
Including a tiger....I thought it would bring life to the ancient stones.and a sign of preservation of the much endangered tigers.

Can not wait to start it !
