gwendolyngreyI need to do painting about summer. Perhaps if I surround myself with images of sunshine and flowers I can forget that I was excited today by it being 'warm' at 32 degrees. 32!!! That's FREEZING POINT and it felt WARM after the arctic temperatures we've been having lately. Funnily enough, about this time last year I also did a painting of the feeling of summer... I think it's because I know that spring is on the agenda even though it still feels like the depths of winter. I just want it to be sunny, and for the sun to actually feel warm.
Anyway, my canvas is stretched (with the raw knuckles to match!) and primed, and I've been browsing around stock image sites for inspiration. I'm actually exciting about painting this one!
And even though my headphones for metals have a long way to go, I'm done with the casting process. I can't express how utterly relieved I am that both sides turned out nicely. Casting is definitely a fun process, but SO stressful when there's a looming deadline!
It feels good to be excited about art again.
(and I'm totally in love with a couple of my costume designs... I cannot WAIT to make them!)
