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

fishing........ah!

Well...after debating if I was going to go fishing...I am more than glad I did !

What a thrill !

Beautiful scenery..peace & quiet.

The first morning.we got up at 3am....I started to make breakfast...on the propane stove.

Looked for the pots & pans ( I should of looked the night before ).......got the bacon going....the eggs....heated up the beans...then.....the darn smoke detector took off !

I found the off button...but gezz..at 3 am ?...I must of woke up all the other cabins.......

Continued cooking.( half woken up )

Made the coffee..then the toasts...then the darn thing sounded off AGAIN !

This time..I stepped in a mouse trap....the thing triggered shut on my small toe !

Now I was swearing..getting the trap off....watching the eggs...and finding the off button for the smoke alarm....

My Boy friend was between laughing.......and and watching me running around....with his mouth opened.

Well.......That woke me up. !

The 4 days went too fast....

I needed this....

Somehow this rejuvenated my spirit....and soul.

I still have all the wonderful scenery in my mind..........the 3 Moose we saw...the Loons on the lake..the birds......the smells........
