Between time
This week I’ve found myself in the between time. Between projects, it’s like holding my breath.
Last month’s oil painting is drying, awaiting it’s final sand and varnish.
The sketch for my next painting is sadly draped over my printer watching me sand and add layers of gesso her panel. This is the between time I don’t like, the time when I am itching to put my paintbrush into the eewie-gooie of the paint and smoosh it around on the board in that semi-subconscious happiness.
So I do the color comp for the next painting, maybe that will help?
but it doesn’t because now I can only hope the final piece will look somewhat like this. Once I get going with that paintbrush I just go with it, so we’ll see what I create in a couple weeks.
In the mean time, to keep me from going too nuts during the between time, I am working on my studio, here’s a sneak peek.
Hoping this weekend I’ll get to put together my cubby unit from IKEA, the idea of myself and powertools…hmmm….But once I have this studio finished a little more I’ll restart my shows, and you’ll be able to watch me work on paintings. YAY!
Till then, have a great weekend!
You just keep AMAZING me…..these two illustrations are my new favorite of your work. And I LOVE that you are painting on wood now….gorgeous!
