Guitar Break, Sunday, May 3, 2009

I have been doing a lot of thinking about this blog lately. One of my house mates asked the other day how it was going and if it was becoming a burden (or something to that effect). I started thinking and it seems that my art life has suffered because I have been critical of everything because everything revolves around posting it here. I have not done a big piece or started a large project in a while because of it except the one for church. I have been doing a lot of sketching and small stuff, but nothing that I sit down for a few days to work on or that is bigger than my journal. I have not really played with my art either. I have also neglected one of my soul foods, music tramendously. So, I have decided to take a break and work on a painting that is just random fun. It is a full size watercolor sheet that I started months ago, but have not worked on in ages and I am going to take this month to focus on my classical guitar. I might blog here and there, but I am not going to try to keep up with the everyday thing. It just makes me crazy. So there it is. Sorry to disappoint those who watch constantly. Hope to bring you some really cool big things in the future. For now, I am going to focus on my first artistic love - Music.

This was one of the flowers in the court yard of the condo that we stayed at in Mexico last weekend.

Take Back Life, Friday, May 1, 2009

My constant life struggle to take care of myself so I can take care of the people around me. I want to fight for my life with God and my life with work and I have to take care of myself to do that. I have been struggling to learn that. I have been sick again for over a week, and I am tired of being sick. I wish I was well, but God usually allows me to be sick for a while to slow me down and get me to be with Him and take care of myself. Perphaps one day I will learn this lesson.

The Impossiblies, Thursday, April 30, 2009

So, I was thinking that I just want to express how I feel. I would like one of the two of these to happen. I have been dreading work because we have nothing to give, nothing to offer, no money for anything and I am doing lots of extra jobs because my workers have been reassigned. So I either want the State Budget to be fixed or an endless vacation.

Doodle 4. Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Crazy week with lots of meetings, work and busy life, but I got this doodle done during one of the meetings.

Disciplines Completed, Tuesday, April 28, 2009

It is finished. My first large scale collage and stamping.

Disciplines beginning, Monday, April 27, 2009

Well this is the starts of my painting. I did ink jet transfers with whiskey and made the house smell like a bar. My pastor came in and was wondering what was going on as his wife explained that I was painting with whiskey. I then put in the watercolor around it. I am going to do some stamping on it to finish it up, but that will be another day. It is a full watercolor sheet on hot press so it is hard to get a good picture of it.
