i've been really enjoying my painting class these past few weeks. it's been the perfect cocktail of terrifying + invigorating with a splash of the unknown that i love. a perfect kick in the creative pants i needed during this long awaited "down time."
two books in 18 months is a LOT of work, i tell you. and i've been quite enjoying this down time, albeit still a semi-busy time workwise because to know me is to know there are always secret projects underway.
week one - momentarily [6x6 acrylic + ink on gessobord]
several people have been asking me, "what's next?" and i know they mean well. but... it conjures up that same uneasy feeling you get when you are happily dating and people ask, "when are you going to get married?" or right after you're happily married and people start asking, "when are you going to have a baby?" or right after you have a happy baby and people ask, "when are you going to have another baby?"
do you know what i mean? i realize it's practical to think ahead and all, but let me savor this a moment or two. i'm good right now.
week two - nestled [8x8 acrylic on claybord]
so yeah. i am really enjoying this painting class. it's something new. something i've always wanted to try but was too insecure to consider. until now. i'm feeling good. loving where i'm at creatively. sure, i have an eye on what's next for me. more books? hopefully. website overhaul. most definitely. new adventures? yep.
but right now, right this very moment, i am loving the down time. my eye doesn't hurt, my vision is stable and i feel good.
and i pretty much smile all the time. xoxo

btw: the grey borders around each of the paintings are from my scanner.
