Did you know that Dick Blick is having a big sale? I always wait for sales, and buy in bulk, so I can get free shipping. I never pay full price for art supplies that way. Artists need all the breaks they can get. Art supplies aren’t cheap, says the art supply junkie, who just spent $300 at Blick a couple weeks ago. Ow!

And, that’s going to do it this week for me. I have an off the chain epic weekend planned, so I’ll see you kids on Monday. Ciao! 🙂

Look at that little kitty belly. Aww!!!

So, I was minding my own business yesterday, and Sweet Pea wanted to come up in my lap. I said, sure sure. She was all happy, and purring. I was in my own little world watching a Youtube video, and next thing I knew she grabbed my face with her paw, claws OUT, and she bit down into my jaw. She made this weird howling noise as she did it, and it really frightened me. ???!!! I have no idea what makes her go crazy like that out of the blue. I was screaming. I think it startled me more than hurt. I put her down on the floor, and she went into the other room. I glanced out at her a few minutes later, and she was sitting there licking the wall like it was an ice cream cone. Lick, lick, lick, lick. Something ain’t right with that cat. Maybe she’s got cabin fever or something?

yesterday

There was a street there the other day, it’s all gone now. The high was 7F yesterday, and 11F today. I’m trying to stay warm by my only source of fire.

30 paintings in 30 days completed collage

30 paintings in 30 day
January 2014
I noticed after I saved it that the photos aren’t in order of how I made them across the row. Instead, you’ll have to look down the first row, then down the second. That’s dumb. I’ll try to remember not to use autofill next time on Picmonkey. I’m not going to worry about it now.
30 paintings in 30 days is finished!!!! Here’s to 30 or more in February!! Yeah!! Oh, I’m never gonna stop..never!!!! I’ve been painting (most) every day since 2008, not gonna stop now. 😀
**********
Funny thing..someone found me on Etsy by searching for “watercolor of man with beard and planets meditating”. Whut?? I had to laugh. Number one..I don’t use watercolors, and number two..planets meditating??? WHAT???!!! Planets mediate???? I had nooo idea. I want to see that painting!!!!! I know I will LOVE it. lol
I did an acrylic portrait of a man with a beard. Whoever was searching must have been so disappointed. Oh, well..it’s not my day to save the world.

I actually painted more than 30 paintings this month. I haven’t had a chance to post everything here yet, but I have an entire art journal almost completed, and that feels really good. Art journaling is one of my go-to things lately. When I go into my studio, I go straight for my art journals. I have 4 books at different stages of completion. Greg brought me home THREE last night..so exciting!! I’ve asked him to be on the lookout for any large size books at the library for sale, since he’s there nearly every day.

I’m not going to stop blogging just because the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge has ended. I will be here at least on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I might even throw in some posts on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well. Ever since I saw Alisa Burke’s video about blogging a few days ago, I’ve been feeling inspired to blog more. I really want to take her class, but Misty Mawn’s class, Full Circle, just started, and I want to give it all my attention.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a collage of allll 30 paintings.

I wish to cry. Yet, I laugh, and my lipstick leaves a red stain like a bloody crescent moon on the top of the beer can. ~Sylvia Plath

 

Oh, that Sylvia. I’ve read all her poems, word for word, but I can’t find the answers I’m seeking there. She haunts me, and I think of her often, although not as often as I once did. I can never make my paintings look as sad as I imagine she was, tho.
