My husband helped me get the lighting set up in the studio and as of this afternoon I am painting again. It's not finished but so far so good. Hopefully I will have something new to show you by the end of the week. A very good weekend.
I've been thinking about the whole painting a day movement. Many, many artists are sharing their daily practice. It's inspiring. And why I started my own blog really. But then I got to thinking, not every work is worth seeing. If I was a writer I would write every day. Daily painting and drawing is like freewriting. It's the best way to get your ideas flowing. Then you find something worth working on. That's when you train your eye to see and hone your skills. That can take more than a day. It probably should take more, right? I guess I'm not opposed to work in progress being displayed as long as the viewer can see the progression and even elimination of some of the artist's work.
In theory sharing one's daily completed painting seems like a great idea. But in theory, so are dog parks. Unfortunately there are a lot of bad dogs out there.

I'm rooting for you from the sidelines. Starting fiddling with beading and jewelry making and finished a number of pieces over the past couple weeks. The first bit is definitely rougher than the last few. Go for it!
Hugs,
Jenn
Thanks, Jenn. I've been working hard on a self-portrait. It's nearly finished. It's helpful to know you're there.
