I've been painting a lot lately.
I go in spurs of mediums (always glass)
but ** spurs **
in other mediums: fiber, sewing, painting, clay, metal, mixed media.
I'm not the neatest artist.
I thrive on organized chaos.
Everything has it's place it's just not always in its place!
I work in my studio every day & in the wee hours of the morning ~
(that's when I call my Dad, wake him up & he says..."now, who is this??"
I aspire to having every tool & supply in its place ~ it just isn't very realistic for a
working artist who's actually making a living * as an artist.
It's interesting to me when other artists show pictures
of their studio with every single pencil & piece of paper tucked away in bins & drawers.
How, how, how do you create anything??
(maybe they clean it up & then take pictures? Yes! That's it!!)
I'm very visual so I love to see all my materials & supplies.
Seeing everything inspires me to go where I probably wouldn't otherwise.
If it's tucked away I forget what I have... oh, that's probably where the
artist inventory & catalog card system come into play ~ :)
I'm usually working my my studio but when I'm painting there's
better light in my house and so....
all my supplies end up on counter & dinning table.
This works to my advantage because then Will wants to paint
(or do whatever I'm doing).
(or do whatever I'm doing).
He has a good eye for color & composition.
I had a blank & gesso'd canvas laying on the table thinking
he'd probably want to paint & ....bahhhhawahhhhh!! my evil plan worked!!
This is a painting of "a day" & "big foot has his BIG FOOT caught in a jail."
hmmm ? Where did he hear about "big foot?"
I'm loving the sun & turquoise sky.
Correction...it's not big foot's "foot" it is his "toe."
please make note of that....toe. is. caught. in. jail.
Happy Holidays Everyone!
* "making a living" for me is all about "life style."
An artist life style is a whole other post.
