'Octojess' is done. I re-vised the 'in-process' pics to show the final stages and then...the final piece!
There are still some shreds of daylight left... My CED is complete for today. Could it be...that I might go t sleep before 12? Naw... Workin' on a little side piece...a big-eyed lady with an octopus on her head. Not sure when I will finish it. Not sure why I feel compelled to create it (actually, I have several ideas) but I guess I will work on that some this evening... Inspired by Thiebaud's 'Four Cupcakes'...that girl has cupcakes on her head. CED #93....get yer sweet tooth ready!
So how did I spend the last day of the month? (Yesterday, I mean) Hanging out with pretty gals in big floppy hats at the end of the year party for the cheerleaders. Meeting up with my friend Jessie to pick up art for a show later in the month. (The pieces that I am donating are shown below in my windowsill.) Having a fun 'art on the deck' night with Kristen, overlooking Fort Lauderdale...watching her paint wine glasses tentatively at first and then inspired and excited while I finished the final touches on my CEDs for the month and my self portrait. ...and so...it ends. March is over. I completed CEDs 89-91. My self portrait for the month is done. Looking to the new month ahead of me...the suggested Creative Every Day theme is 'Language'. My theme for the next ANE show is 'Pop Art'. I am more inspired by the ANE theme...looking to the works of Wayne Thiebaud and Claes Oldenburg...specifcally taking inspiration from their use of 'sweet' imagery. ...some notes to myself...I have got to sit down and organize these pictures. I have over a hundred new works of art that I have created since January and the photos of the finished works and the process...it is getting out of hand. Waaaaay outta hand. As in...crazy chaos. I was pulling pictures for the slideshow below and it was tough...the pics are out of order, which bothers me, but I am going to try to be okay with it. Sigh. Three-day work week...maybe I can make some time to organize all of this art! |
