Day Thirty-five

Well well, apparently I enjoyed the painting method last night because here it is again. I’ve noticed I go through like weekly phases, but I never really last very long on one idea. That’s probably my biggest problem I need to concentrate on one thing. It’s funny because although this blog has totally encouraged me to do something every day I feel like it must be something new, which then leads me to a new idea every time.  Anyway, I wanted to make sure to announce something tonight since I won’t be back until hopefully Tuesday night. I am going away for the next few days for what can hopefully be described as a wonderfully inspiring mini vacation. However, since I will be staying outside of my house I wont have access to my computer and although I have an iphone I can not do the blog thing on that it would make me crazy. SO what I am really saying is that as soon as I get back I will be massive posting from the next few days, but there will be no posts for the next few nights. Of course I want you all to know that I will be, for sure, working each and every night on something, I am not slacking. It’s strange but I feel kind of weird not posting, it’s  like I’m breaking rules but then again it is my blog.  I guess I create the rules and a creative vacation with little technology is a decent one. Anyway I hope you enjoy tonight’s work, can’t wait to see what happens over the next few. See you soon!!!

Day Thirty!!

Wow, another milestone. Like I’ve said before every date seems like a milestone for some reason or another. Today had a lot of prospect but as life typically is situations arose which led to my simple sketch tonight. When I woke this morning I had all intentions of drawing for about 3 hours but my puppy got sick and well I had to bring him to the vet instead. I was being a good mom! Since we had all six puppies in this house like 4 of them have developed some issue whether it be upset stomach or constant sneezing… who knows. What I have learned is that 6 dogs might just be too much but especially when they are going to puppy daycare and being exposed to another 10 dogs. It’s like puppy preschool, EVERYONE gets sick.

Regardless, the image makes me happy, it was totally stress free and I used Jelly roll pens which for those of you who don’t know this, many of them have sparkles so in the right light this looks totally fabulous! Time to hit the hay, another busy day tomorrow. See you next month (OMG another milestone!)

Day Twenty-nine!

 

Today is a basic image kind of day. Started my drawing when I woke up because in all honesty if I didn’t do it then, then it wasn’t going to happen. I’m at the Source today and after work there will of course be drinks with my girls from up this way. That in itself  means nothing productive will happen after. Anyway, everyday is its own thing and all I ask from each day is to get into a drawing even if it is only for a short while. So enjoy and I apologize for the horrible photograph my iphone is malfunctioning. Silly thing! See you tomorrow!

Day Twenty-Seven!!!

Today was a successful day, worked in the early part of the day, got my hair cut by Karen!, bought some new bits from J Crew and when I got home I  started painting. This was the piece that I had started the background of yesterday and tonight I added a lot more to the image. I love when I can just keep building off a base element. Also, I heard back from the Hull Artist Group and got the ok for open studios and membership, which was kind of exciting! Small hurdles right! I’ll see you tomorrow.

Day Fifteen

Today was such a wonderful and perfect day. For those of you who don’t live in the Boston area, it was sunny like high 70’s and perfect. My day started with a run on the beach with the hubby and some after run breakfast sandwiches. When we got back to the house we set up camp on the back porch and things only got better from there. The SIX puppies were running amuck in the backyard having a ball while I was drawing and lee was reading. Now, many hours later all the dogs are completely panned out ALL over the house, mainly because there are six of them! As for the drawing, I spent some time just developing the image and although I said I would rework it tomorrow I don’t know if I am really ready to. Also, sticking to the monochromatic color scheme has really been helpful for my imagery because it takes away a bit of distraction. Anyway, Ill see you tomorrow!

DAY NINE

Here we are, day nine. This is being posted a bit late but that’s only because I had so many other things going on. Today was the first day where I wasn’t constantly thinking about my drawings. It kind of bothered me but luckily tomorrow I have the day “off” and hopefully I will have some good time in the morning for concentrating on ideas. I’d like to tackle something a bit bigger. Most of these are on Watercolor paper about 11″ x 15″ or 8.5″ x 11″. I’m not exactly sure why I want to go bigger and I sure as hell can’t guarantee that will do anything good for the image but sometimes it gives me a bit more freedom to loosen up and although I have only been making these images for a few I feel somewhat restricted.

On another note I would like to announce that today was the first day of my official new job. It’s a good vibe there and seems to be a good place for my head. Also, it’s super close to home so no more ridiculous car rides trying to make sense of why I was driving so far. Instead I can use that time to focus on my art or sit at the beach and read. Imagine, ME TIME! love it.

DAY EIGHT

WOOHOO… I am onto week 2, not bad 1 down and only 51 weeks to go, makin progress. Got up early enough, well I was the first one up at the house at least…. it was 10am. I was working from the sketches I did last night and although I’m not completely crazy about the worm shaped elements (which actually came from seeing a mop head) they do seem to add a new dynamic.  Time to sit back and relax for the rest of the Easter day. Happy Easter! See you tomorrow.

DAY SEVEN

Today is day seven, one week today and well I’m happy to say I managed to get a post up even if I had such a little amount of time to work. All I did today was work on some sketches for shapes and layers. They are nothing major but they are the building blocks for the watercolors that hopefully I will continue with tomorrow.

DAY SIX

Today is a busy day, so I woke up at 7:00 to start working on an image. This was how far I got with it in the time slot I had available. Honestly I really like the image I’ve been enjoying these collages of shapes that I have been working on. Next I want to expand my shapes so I might try to do some sketching this weekend and focus on broadening my marks. Plus, its Easter weekend and I won’t really have a nice place to paint. Drawing in the sketch book it is then! See you tomorrow!
