train window paintings

I always think of things I want to write here but by the time I get around to writing I.... forget.

89 introductions since July 16. That my friends is tooooo many.

mediocre

It became obvious to me today a number of times that.... I am mediocre. Again just a few minutes ago ...ugg.

Thank you to the person I remember telling me that when I was a child. You were right as it turns out. Side note, FUCK YOU!

This morning I was feeling energized by it to become more, to push myself. Tonight I feel some of that but I also feel some discouragement. I'll find my way around it. no worries. mostly.

I don't push things I take them to a safe place and stop. In my art, my life, my baking. Safe and stop. That makes for boring everything. Take chances woman.

todays image

I think this works, do I say that a lot?

homeless

It occurred to me some weeks ago that I am homeless. I have a home to live in but I have no where to call home. If I went home for the holidays where would that be?

India ink stains can be worthy opponents...

so said How Stuff Works, guess why I know that? I spilled an entire bottle on my desk, it dripped on the carpet, my computer mouse got some, my sketch book.....UGGGGGG!!!!!

It is mostly taken care of now, although I have two pink towels with black/blue spots, and the carpet.... it is old and already stained, not that you would know I am very creative with throw rugs. So I ran to the store and got some more but a different brand, why? I don't know it was a mistake, I don't like it as well as the other. I also got a couple of new pens, ink included. I doodled with them and realized how much easier it is to work with them so todays drawing is with the new ink pen, not the dip pen. I kind of feel like I am cheating but alas it is done. Still working on this drawing a blurred train image. I'll get it sooner or later.

Night,

I have these photos from the train I love them, I will paint some of them, but I am trying to draw them also, it is up hill right now, I feel like I just need to do it over and over again until the practice shows. So sorry but here is the first.

OOOOOOOO watch me progress...

Barcelona and all things procrastinating

The past week has been perfect sunny 70's and a nice breeze making this the most perfect place to live. Today is no exception. I am off until 1pm, the same as yesterday. But.... yesterday I got so much done before work and today not so much. I hate that feeling.

To aid in the lazy perfect summer day is Pandora Radio. Currently listening to the Global Chill station. It is playing lazy summer chill lounge etc. A number of spanish language pieces one even titled Destination : Barcelona, like I needed that. Now I need to be in Spain, particularly Barcelona area, since that is what I know, only a little bit, but enough to know I wanna be there. So time to draw.


NOW YOUNG LADY!!!!!

having real problems focusing
