AAAAHHHH sorry Dreaming In Color, I totally sucked at blogging over the tail end of winter/early spring. Holy crap, life has been so exhausting and busy and involved. School’s been going great; after my initial total terror about going back to school (because of the money involved), I have no doubt that I’m doing the […]
Been keeping busy with painting strong women in shades of red & blue. I also got into my Art Therapy program! Grad school starts next week! I’m gonna be so Adlerian. That’s…that’s it. BUT A BUNCH OF THESE ARE DONE WITH OIL! Because I went out and bought acrylics and then hated how they work […]
UGH I AM SO AMPED UP GUYSI’m sure my blogs in here even have been suggestive of a rather crappy period of time in my life. Basically August, September, October, November and December all include blog posts with some allusion to a loss of direction, hope, or independence. I’ve said about as much about it as […]
When the first thing that came up when I wanted to add media was my resume, it means I’ve spent way too much energy in real life and not enough in my own head. I’ve had a few spurts of creativity, and I would say in general I’m beginning to feel like my old self, […]
I may not have had the energy to get messy with paints lately, which has made me feel a bit discouraged. I’ve been suffering from a variety of “transition,” respiratory colds, random wisdom toothaches, and general tiredness. This afternoon though I started thinking about Micah and then this pose came into my head. I think […]
I DON’T EVEN CARE ’cause this was SO FUN! I had the song “About That Bass” stuck in my head while I painted this, which influenced the content and aggression. But I’m even more proud that it did after checking out Meghan Trainor’s ABSOLUTELY CHARMING music video for her song. It’s all pastels and empowering […]
The single silver lining of 3 hours of naptime at my new job came when I realized URR I CAN BRING MY SKETCHBOOK TO WORK HERP DERP And it helps that I’ve lost any sense of timidity when it comes to just plopping about and ignoring everybody else while I doodle. I […]
So after giving up midway through “Waiting” (Is that ironic? That I got impatient trying to figure out a picture that was about my impatience? … Yes I think it actually is), I had just been dicking around with various watercolors and casually forgot about how I’d set out to make a series of digital […]
While reserving the right to repeatedly modify and re-upload this image tomorrow, I must say that I’m pretty damn proud of myself for this digital piece. I won’t jump in and say that it’s the fantastic piece I’m proud of so much that I DID IT and I FOLLOWED THROUGH on a piece that was […]
SOOO this happened. It’s been a great, creative weekend for the first time in what feels like forever! I have totally earned it after such a long and exhausting week. I mean, yes, I have managed to make some pictures – but today I got lost in the pictures. I spent the day with a […]
