Ya know, every once in a while I just hit a wall. I have been working on a new painting, the frost dragon one, and for some reason I am just in no mood to paint it. The only thing I can think of is thank goodness this one doesn't have a deadline! I AM still trying to get it finished in time for the store signing this coming weekend, and ill be working on it tonight. I'm absolutely thrilled with how it looks so far, I just don't think I'm very motivated at all right now. I have been working on new drawing however. Still plodding along on the zodiac babies, and I have started birthstone New Age dragons. Opal is almost finished and Ill begin the background tonight or tomorrow. Im going with a Art Nouveau style from the Birthstone dragons that I think will come across very well. I'm just drawing the heads, draped in the gems and stones for each month. I think I have a hard time getting motived to work when I have so many shows in a month. The stop and start of trying to work is difficult (I know, whine whine, my life is SO hard :P)
But yea, 3 shows this month, so I'm gone more then I'm home. But Its ALWAYS worth it in the end. :D
I have LOTS of great ideas, and I'm excited to start getting them all done. I might start playing with deferent surfaces again to see if I find something I like better then the pastel board. I LOVE ampersands Pastel Board, but there are some techniques that I would like to try that wont work on the board.
I tend to combat the anitflowing with research into some of my favorite artists. Stephanie Pu-Min Law is my choice this time around, and I have just spend the past 2 hrs on her blog site reading...well EVERYTHING. If you get a chance, check out her work, shes simply amazing :)
