2o12 has seen the studio packed up and moved to a temporary dwelling . . . one i like to call the cave !!! so far i have not gotten into the habit of painting. some sketching . . etc . . plus no teaching due to the gallery's roof collapsing in the last big storm we had at the end of january.
i have had the fortune to jump in on a couple figure workshops (it has been a while !!). take a couple workshops from the art supply warehouse here in southern california . . . not too sunny at the moment. one workshop was copic markers . . one was lutradur . . and one was a strathmore visual mixed media journal. lutradur led to an invite to join their creative team . . . and do a surface piece for an upcoming convention for them . . . that will be my next blog !!!!
and then there was the form show which two of my figurative works accepted to . . . not bad for an artist who likes to classify herself as a wildlife artist/illustrator !!! and my puffin piece was entered by one of my supporters in a show at another gallery and there it was awarded a prize.
well i love sharing little discoveries or big ones . . . some may seem incidental not sophisticated enough for the art world . .. but every step leads some where and i find that story just as interesting !! and right now the sharing and absorbing will get the creative juices going . .. because i don't know about u but when i haven't been creating i don't feel like much of an artist . . . and it takes my best ideas longer to flow. . .
so i will end this by sharing three photos . . . 2 are from the gallery show. then there is the third . . . . the african king study from one of the workshops i attended !!!
DON'T FORGET . . . do NOT look at this blog for proper punctuation or grammar . . . i try to type as fast as my rambling thoughts . . . but never can !!! it's all a rollercoaster ride with me !!! speaking of which . . . nahhhhh just kidding !!!
well next post is my creative time with CT PUBLISHING !!!!
my surface texture project !
