teal zeal

Teal Zeal is the super cheesy name of this paint color that I love so much.

Monthly stuffs check-in

Well, I have been painting. Almost daily, in fact. It's been really great and awful and frustrating and cathartic and useless and wonderful simultaneously. Just like it always is when starting up anything new (jogging, anyone?), but that's difficult to remember...I'm hoping to fully realize at least one painting this month. Who knows if it will be one I have already started or not. We are in between houses at the moment, so right now I have a corner of the parents' pool room. The sunlight is wonderful.

Illustration Friday: Warning

Painting number 1 of March....and have already started on number 2. Feeling pretty good about the new goal so far. But that's always how they start out, right?

Illustration Friday: Swarm

After making this illustration I looked up "swarm", and apparently only bees, eels, and locusts can swarm. Hmpf.

Illustration Friday: Layer

After only completing a handful of paintings last year, my new goal is to make three per month in 2011. I guess I got to take January off since I just made this new rule. And most of them will probably be crap, but that's okay. I just have to get back to it.

Space

I have carved out a space in the house for the sewing and the painting that happens not often enough. But having things out to work on is amazing!

Illustration Friday: Linked

"Linked" for Illustration Friday....Just so happens to go right along with the paintings I'm working on right now. Love it when that happens.
