Spring Break, Day 1

Feelin' pretty tired...just in case I don't do any more work tonight, here is the update... 

I decided it was time I came to some resolution on this large painting (left) so I started working on it late this afternoon and stopped around 10pm.  I added more black outline...I love black outline...makes me think of stained glass...and I pushed the faces back by adding some brown wash over the surface, they just seemed to stand out too much, I wanted them to flow a little more with the tree, to be a little more hidden.      


I want to add some addition black line work, and small strokes of color.  And some small glints of gold. 

I was pinning images to my Pinterest Boards earlier, focusing on the 'Inspiration' board.  I am still deciding how I will use this tool in my work, for now it seems to be a good way to gather images together in one place, to save physical space and also paper.  The images I pinned today were mostly artists who I think are awesome, mostly mixed media artists since that is my focus for this month. This is a whole different world for me, so these visuals really help to give me ideas.

And of course I had to pin some of my influences from art history, such as Gustav Klimt and Alphonse Mucha.  I found this AMAZING close-up of Klimt's piece entitled, Water Serpents (1904-1907) and fell in love with the gold line work...and the fact that it is actually slightly raised from the surface.  Hmmmmmm.... that could be an idea for my large painting I am working on...

Have paper will draw!
...other projects for this week;
  • My CED's, of course...hoping I can get a little braver and start to experiment a little more, but stay true to my aesthetic
  • Paul's commission...I finally found a big enough piece of paper, gonna have to use the whole kitchen table for this one...this piece is going to be a pencil drawing with watercolor/pen for the hair, in the style of Mucha (hence, the posting of his piece above)
  • Going through random piles of crap here and there.  Not necessarily an art-related goal, but it needs to be done.  Ugh.
  • Launching a new web-site and FB page for what I hope becomes a cool art happening... More to come...
  • A visit to the classroom of fellow Tipsy Art Girl and fabulous MS art teacher, Jessie Prugh...
  • ...and lot's of naps, hanging by the pool and spending time with the husband!

I enjoyed looking at your blog! That painting you are working on is going to be spectacular. I can't wait to see it finished.

Like you, I love Pinterest, as well. I find it to be a great source of inspiration and a great place to "store" all those images. I used to print anything that inspired me....my shoe box is overflowing so I jumped on Pinterest as soon as I knew about it! LOL

Keep up the beautiful work! It's nice to "meet" you! xoxo
