project art: stormy sea
Whew! I had way too much coffee this morning. Excuse me if I'm a little delirious. Drew and I have been trying to go to bed earlier, but were up really late last night talking and now I'm feeling the effects of sleepiness + a TON of caffeine. Reminds me of my college days. Except now I'm old. And shouldn't be doing this anymore.
It was a busy weekend. Drew and I spent some wonderful time with family and friends, but also did a lot of work around the house. One of the things I accomplished was a new painting! It's been an interesting journey since I started "Project: Art." Forcing myself to paint at least twice a month has caused me to fall more in love with art than ever before. In this particular painting, I was inspired to use a lot of texture and try to be more impressionistic than realistic. I tend towards realism in most of my artwork, but recently have been pushing myself to be more fluid and at ease rather than precise and planned. In doing this, I find myself enjoying the experience of painting more and actually feeling surprised as I "discover" the piece while I paint it.
Ya know what I mean, jellybean? You don't? Okay never mind.
Anyways... I have a surprise for you tomorrow! So you'll have to come on back over here if you want to know what it is :) Ha ha... forced love. It's the best. Just kidding... but really. Okay not really.
You guys are awesome. I don't tell you that enough. Thanks for listening to me ramble on. Oh, and if you are interested in purchasing products with my artwork on it, visit my shop! There are all sorts of goodies - from iphone cases, to framed prints, to greeting cards! :)
Okay. Have a great Monday!
