Today’s project was relaxing, not too much to say though kinda tired. I’ll try to be a bit more chatty tomorrow. On a side note I found out that none of the pieces I submitted to the artist festival were accepted. Kinda bummed out but as I keep telling myself and others keep reminding me it’s onto the next project. On the upside I have a few works ready to go for the next thing. See you tomorrow!
Milestone! only 5 more to go to 50, I can’t believe I have almost made 50 drawings in 50 days. Today’s image was nice and relaxing but it feels very incomplete, so I apologize. Anyway, I’m hopefully going to the studio tomorrow and actually going to try and print! We shall see, this could be exciting though! Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow.
Today was a good drawing day, although they were once again in my sketch book. I’ve prepped for tomorrow by doing some washes on some black drawing sheets. The lines of the notebook are somewhat annoying although my journal currently has some of the most wonderful graphics scattered throughout. Anyway, I was able to just go to Starbucks before work and work on this and tomorrow before work I hope to do the same except at a different cafe. I’m meeting my friend SAM (hope you read this!) and we are working out at 7:00 AM pretty gross but I know I’ll be happy after. On another note, I submitted some of my prints into a juried show, fingers crossed they get accepted! Have a goodnight, see you tomorrow!
Today was inspired by everything wonderful. It started with a beautiful day consisting of bike rides, strawberries, sketching at the park and amazing music. I finally found the song I have been obsessed with for the past week, Of Monsters and Men- Little Talks and from there I found a few more M83- Midnight City and Imagine Dragons- It’s Time, to name a few. This image started at the park and was later completed back at the house on the back porch. See you tomorrow!
Not too much tonight, just a simple drawing. Spending the evening enjoying the wonderful weather and bevys on the back porch! See you tomorrow!
Similar project today as yesterday, acrylic and pen. I love parts of this color combination. As many times as I see the bright green with either a pink or red it never gets old for me. It’s the only color combination I have ever felt attached to. Anyway, I have still been basing my initial shapes off of images from the cape and then altering to a more abstract form. Tomorrow looks like it may be a great day. See you then!
Woohoo, another milestone! I love these small challenges of days and weeks and eventually months. When I woke up this morning I had my act together enough to start painting before work. After last night I just felt like dabbling with acrylic again. By the time I went to work I had laid down the paint portion of this image and when I got in from work I just started drawing on top with pen. Not that I can’t finish things with paint, but I truly enjoy the mark of pens and markers in comparison to something so smooth. I love these shapes, which developed from photographs I took down the cape and I can’t wait to push them further. Anyway, early start tomorrow. Have a good night!
When I got home from the studio I didn’t really feel like taking a serious attempt at anything today so I just started painting in acrylics (which I am not very comfortable with) and this is what I came up with. It was very enjoyable after a long day and it really just developed, I never set out with an image in mind. I rearranged my working area, because although the kitchen table has been treating me well over the past few weeks I was dying to work in an area that felt like a studio and not a cluster fluff. SO the basement got completely rearranged and before you go “BASEMENT?” it’s not too bad. I mean the lighting is horrible but I work primarily at night anyway so no matter what it isn’t exactly great. What was nice was busting out some of the old mixes on my old school Ipod (which oddly enough is still alive). There were some good inspirational tunes on there here are just a few. Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow.

After what can only be described as a perfect 3 days away I decided that I really need to work on developing an idea, by allowing more sketching days and brainstorm days. I’m thinking that by jumping to paint or a complete image I’m really limiting the idea to one moment rather than allowing it to develop. For instance the above image I started thinking about yesterday in a sketch and then went to this rough watercolor and I am very interested on pushing this even further. Getting the right depth and back drop. Anyway, Having a few days to contemplate the idea is such a wonderful experience. Can’t wait until the next escape! By the way, I told you I would be working down there, all the time I was thinking about it too! See you tomorrow!
Second day on the cape, sketches throughout the day of bits and pieces…. This day was full of so much inspiration from viewing different artists at loads of galleries in Provincetown and going of a few different walks around the nature preservation in the area. Not to mention the amazing eats at the Portuguese Bakery (a must hit spot on your next trip) as well as the amazing Rum Punch (Corin’s specialty) at Georges Pizza & Pub.
