dyptique

A gift from a friend....3...... 24 x 24 inch canvases. :)

So I have one left :)

This came at just the right time.......

I could not finish my cougar face as I do not have enough paints ( colors ), so I put it aside for now.

Friday morning..I took out 2 canvases...and did the sketch for the Zebra's face.

It took me a couple of hours.........to get the ''exact '' proportions on both sides of face on canvas.

This took my mind off all the infructuous job searching that I have been doing for the past 3 - 4 months.

I guess no one wants an overweight handicapped, ugly old lady.

I even checked myself into a ladies homeless shelter last Friday , to take off the financial strain off my boy friend.

Maybe you are thinking this is crazy...but it isn't ......this way I was thinking of retrieving my independence..and not living on my generous friends hand-outs.

I just can not accept this anymore.

This is NOT me...... normally I am the one who helps.....Where has gone my pride and independence ?

Right now I am just numb to ANY emotions.

Anyways..back to the Dyptique.

2 x 24 inches....so when finished ( this week ) will be around 50 x 24 inches in all.

I am putting the focus on the eyes of the Zebra........ half opened....An inner feeling that I have to close myself out the outside world.....I will have this reflection on my Zebra.

Picking up from the past

I have to stay home Tomorrow all day, as I have a client come to look at 2 of my Zebra paintings.

I know this will probably be a sale, because this client is a fan of mine..and has already bought from me in the past :)

She is interested in the ''9 Zebras ''.

If she chooses this one...I know I will be sad to see it go..it is my favorite.

I was picking up my studio last night......and I found this ''unfinished '' 30 x 36 inch Cougar face.

I was thinking of putting gesso to it....but.......something tells me to finish the painting.

Picking up from the past a painting..will be interesting.

I will be able to see what my evolution ( technique wise ) is from 5 years ago.

rock on part 2...

Well this is a start for adding the colors.......

Not sure about the Big Blue rock though.........it's bugging me :(

Since this will be ''almost '' the focal point...I will try to fix it up at the end.

I will be adding more Green rocks..and adding the textures.

I had thought of adding a leaf.....but it would be confusing......with all the colors of the rocks.....it will be too busy for the eye.

Water is a must though.......it will add movement and life.

This will be tricky...

I will post once finished.. :)

Have a good day !

rock on !

I do not know why the canvas has a blue hue to it.....lol

Anyways.......this is a 18 x 24 beginning ( sketch of rocks )

I think I will add a bit of water going through the rocks....maybe a leaf or two........ floating around.

I had a bit of a set back last week.I was doing a LOT of paper work.and going through one of my 330 page file.

Sorting out..typing notes .

Was hard to concentrate , as I had this painting in my mind.

I hope my notes are ok..... paper work is not my thing.

That is done.....yes !....., so I can get back at my painting.......

See you Wednesday..and I already have an idea for the next painting.

Things are flooding my mind right now.

GOOD THINGS !

:-D

Another step

Well.....after one week of reflecting.on where I was going artistically.....I decided to get back to my paints, brushes..and air brush.

Although I do not have the funds to support myself right now....I still have some paints..and 3-4 canvases...to free my mind..and occupy myself.

I am in more fear to louse my creativity...than to paint something that is less to my expectation.

I am also scared my new work will look like more than primitive rehashes of what I was doing when I stopped.

So I will continue creating art no matter how difficult the process becomes.

I will persevere, work throughout the though times. and I am sure I will be glad I did it !

This ( if I sell some ) will help pay my internet bill.

I have not been working as much as I thought this month.

I made a bit less than 400 $

Half of this went towards the vets bill for Inka.

I am so tired of struggling to get funds...to..... eat.....pay my bills...ect.

Last month my income was less than someone on welfare. ( a bit under 600 $ )

Not whining..but I am discouraged a lot.

If this does not change financially.....I will go to the pawn shop with what is left of my jewelry and my cam.

Along with some things I do not use anymore.

I just need a door so I can put my foot in..and pull it open........

The question is where is the door ?

Anyways........

The shipping is free for the postcards..and you can combine 6 different ones......

Have a good day
