Without kids PLEASE! I am at that age and under enough stress at times where I just draw a blank! HAHA! That’s where my paintings have been lately also! BLANK! But I’m getting there! I’ve read some on the brain and the chemicals that are released under stress and that hormonal cesspool soup that is released causing us to FORGET, like, important stuff!
This is the time of year I get three teens, well one not even preteen going on 25, ready for the school year and football season etc. Making sure the gym shoes are taken care of, even those size 15′s my 13 yr old son has decided to grow into! I mean I can’t just take a trip to the store with those ya know? Books, binders, backpacks. Pens, pencils, highlighters. Notebook paper, graph paper, construction paper! We are supplied! And mom, tries to remember three schedules, three sign up dates, three batches of necessary papers and still have time for the creative process. I think I will take the liberty of saying that doing all this IS creative lol! It takes a creative person to manage to juggle all of this.
Hence the problem of working at home. This works great during the school year when I am alone at home but not during this time between the lazy days of summer and the flurry of activity leading up to the dreaded “First Day of School”!
I did sign myself up for a Painter 12 Intro class at The Digital Art Academy. I love that place. Nice people, you learn tons and be ready to do HOMEWORK! Painter 12 is just different enough to cause a bit of frustration. I’m sure this will all clear up after the class. It starts the last week in August.
I also have to submit some work, oh my lest I forget, to the Redbank Community Church and the “Taste and See” Exhibit. Oh gosh I believe I have to stuff that in my schedule quick! I’ve been ruminating on what to paint for that. My friend Gerda Liebmann is the curator.
Today I created some new Biz cards. I like ‘em. They grew on me. It was one of those free premium offers from Vista Prints. They have nice stuff. Of course it is never free and I did not leave there without spending over 30 bucks!
I left off some personal info at that bottom. I made it the same font and lighter gray.
Oh gosh I have so many ideas I am all over the place! I love graphic arts, acrylic painting, digital painting and all of that. I really need to focus to create a cohesive body of work :/.
That artwork on the card is one of my favorite paintings. I do truly love abstract with it’s color and texture. I know it’s an acquired taste. I also know that many friends would rather I do the digital art of impressionism. But I really have to please myself first regarding that, what a thought!
