Just me and Tom Petty figuring it all out.
Bold shape. Thick paint. Process.
I’m liking the palette that is coming through on this one.
Re-activating an old canvas. A lot of good layers in there already. Getting reacquainted.
WIP. Who says your warm up can’t be a 24 x 36? 🤣 It feels like it’s been an age since I’ve been in the studio and it’s a little dusty. I promised myself I would get in here today and I just wanted to play and paint on something big. It’s as if my insides needed a great big stretch from being closed up for too long.
Trying to stay nonchalant with my 13 year old son as I’m driving to his BJJ practice and see the most beautiful dumpster that I have ever seen in my life!!!
Got to deliver this beauty on Friday to an artist friend who loved it before it even left the easel. We collaborated on the title and decided on "Rite of Spring." When we put it on the mantle in her living room, it seemed to have just bloomed there.💚 #joyful
Quality control in today to check on how the hardware is coming. I think she approves! Whew! ♥️🐾
Varnish day! 🤢🥴😵‍💫
It’s been a minute since I’ve been in the studio: breakthru covid, school starts and stops, birthdays, self doubt. Feels good to be here painting the edges of something beautiful. What a fantastic way of entering back in. A gift of softness to me.
Pretty happy with the direction this one is taking. 💚💛🤍
This! This was exactly what I needed to hear. Listening to it on repeat and thought I'd put it out there for anyone else who needs to hear it too. So much wisdom. I love Lisa Congdon's work and am excited about her generosity to also share what she's learned along the way. Nestled in there are some real gems for people like me who struggle a lot with the comparison trap. She talked about how other artists' journey or pace is not better than mine, it's just different. Lose the judgement. 🎯 So good. Do yourself a big favor and listen to this episode, https://overcast.fm/+sna1H4vic, from the Lisa Congdon Sessions. ❤️
Treating these detail shots kind of like a sketchbook to experiment with new possibilities. This is from that bigger painting that I gave the white-out do-over treatment to. It lives! 🤣
And there are days when I probably should not have been painting while waiting on a plumber who turns out to be a no show. 🤬 so frustrating…. Painted over to start over tomorrow. If I had a fire pit I would have burned it.
Because it is, you know, all about the crust. #PizzaParables
Riding the wave today. 🌊 Grateful.
Painting over an older never-finished piece to start something new. After finishing my last series, I feel a little resistance about my own expectations in beginning again. It helps to have something already on the canvas. Something that is not precious, to paint over and play.
