Photo of Painting for Friday
Moving right along |
You know, sometimes you get those days that just click, things happen, mostly the right things. As the day opened up I decided to pull out my new plan and schedule from the Blast Off class and keep going.
I felt good after hearing that another artist uses their morning for house/errands and the afternoon for painting, the evenings for family/whatever. I liked that. I'm a morning person anyway, but I don't necessarily need to paint at that time. If things need doing I can comply in the A.M. and have the house neat so my brain is clear to paint in the P.M.
Perfect!
I ran my errands, visited the art supply shop and purchased the largest Arches watercolor block made, on sale! I added to my brush collection, also on sale. I picked up a tube of Holbein. You said it, on sale. I asked about oil painting mediums for the future. Then I ran home.
After lunch, on schedule, I went to the studio to keep working on this latest painting. I thought about it all night and painted it in my head. I knew what I wanted to do when I came to the studio.
Things are looking up.
It looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria!
DeleteYour work is very good. I like it a lot! I wish I could paint. I can't hardly draw a stick man.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gaye, you can draw a stick man too. Just use a ruler!
DeleteLooks good, Dora - and so glad you've found a routine that works for you xx
ReplyDeletePat, I think I have found it. Now I have to keep it up!
DeleteGreat job and so nice that you can fit so much into your day!
ReplyDeleteKatiejane-I try to keep my days as stress free as possible, so doing a little bit each day helps.
DeleteYour work is so great! I agree with you about getting your errands done early and leaving your mind free for creating afterwards. I do the same thing (when I don't have to go to work-which is every day except Sat. and Sun), but if, by chance, I get a treat and am off during the week I do my chores first and paint/create the rest of the day.

Faye, thank you so much for your compliment! I ended up staying home to raise my kids and never went back to work, except for the full time job at home. Now that I watch my granddaughter I'm still fitting art into my day, but now it's on the schedule!
