the Solitaire

Silently I stepped around

not to disturb anything with a sound.

Just to enjoy the sunset silence

where my mind could wander around.

Enjoy the peace in the air

without intruding noises everywhere

and enjoy the solitaire

that the evening held there.

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 !

''Art is your business card ''

It works for you 24 hours a day...and everywhere.
