Day Fifty-four!

Busy day today even though my work day was short. Tried to spend as much of my morning outside as possible so I brought the puppies on Adventures. I’ve learned that my dogs are out of shape especially Tayto who decided he was tired after the length of 3 houses. Needless to say I guess we need to go on more proper walks. Anyway this image is something I have been working on for a little bit. I don’t really think it is done by any means but it has been such a carefree go to piece when I don’t know what to do with the other images. I do like the bottom half of this a lot. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Day Fifty-three!

Beautiful day outside and luckily it was my day off which means I  got to enjoy it. I had thought I would spend the day working on drawings and painting but when  I woke up and saw the weather I headed outside. I went for a long bike ride and took a break laying in the sunshine on the sea wall. When I got back I started painting and although I did enjoy this image im getting bored a bit I need to go start looking for some inspiration. On this image the part that I like the best are the brown marker bits which were a last thought. It added something new to the image that I haven’t done yet really giving a more descriptive finish to the surface of the object rather than just volume and depth. Anyway, enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Day Fifty-two!

Busy day today and although I had big plans to sit in a cafe and draw today, missing clothing and cut fingers made that a bit more difficult. Lets just say that by 10 am this morning I was already set for bed, never mind the entire day to follow. Anyway this was a complete free for all. A bit of a combination of drawing and painting. It felt really liberating and I think that the freedom of the work is very visible. It is far from what I would consider a completed work but I am very excited about the pencil lines showing though all over the place. Anyway, enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!

Day Fifty!

Look at that 50 drawings down, only 315 more to go, whats up!! Today I followed yesterdays image style and did something similar. They are nice quick ideas that evolve almost instantly and I love the over all look. With this particular image I liked it a lot more before I added the red but I guess I would never know that if I had not tried it, so I learned that little fact!

Today was an awesome day by the way. I went for a bike ride along the beach with the hubby, then got to celebrate one of my besties (Meagan’s) Bridal shower and meet her fab mom, enjoy a drink with my Hull girlies by the grill and finished off with a walk on the beach. Beautiful Sunday right? No complaints here, it makes for a very inspiring day! Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Day Forty-Nine!

Today was one of those days where my entire goal of the day was to get outside and what ends up happening is at 7:50pm I realize I still have not managed to actually enjoy the day outside. I mean I was busy with work and the gym and this drawing but now well I guess the time has come to finally sit on the back porch and indulge (in Thai food and Vino). As I said yesterday or maybe it was the day before, everything seems to blend together, I did not get any pieces into the Cohasset Art Fair, but I think I have come to terms with it. I don’t think my work would have looked good next to a bunch of landscapes and lighthouses anyway (Thanks Steph!). So, the next event is Open Studios and that should be good since I’m not about to deny my own art from my studio! The piece I worked on today was just a simple sketch I loved the positive/negative with the pen drawing versus the watercolor washes as well as the soft gradations against the harsh pen lines. Anyway, enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Day Forty-Eight

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!

Day Forty-Seven!

Today has been a great day, I went to the gym at 6:45 in the morning, and was very impressed with myself. When I got home I had a chance to work on an image before work. I have been creating all of these watercolor images which I totally love but eventually I need to amp them up  a bit. There seems to always be a pop feature missing. Anyway, I’m delighted to be posting earlier in the day and not be panicking at 10pm. For those of you who know me or read this regularly, I am going crazy, I submitted some works into my first juried show outside of college and I find out today or tomorrow whether I got any of them in… fingers crossed!

Day Forty-six!

So I have no idea why, but people started liking this again, which was really inspiring and today when I went to clean the studio I actually started working on a plate. Crazy  I know, it’s been like 3-4 months since I have even touched copper, but I was inspired! When I got home I did my drawing for the night which is above. I kinda love it. What isn’t show is that I added a bit of a pop once I stared at it for a while so there is now some punches of color scattered throughout. Anyway thanks for the encouragement and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Day Forty-Three

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!

Day Forty

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!
