Partnership, Monotype of the Day #184

January 13, 2019

So I thought I’d be working the image from yesterday but it’s always an adventure. The ink had other plans ..

At Sea, Monotype of the Day #183

Today I officially passed the 6th month mark of making monotypes everyday. Feeling good about that! I'm going back to a concept I worked a month or more ago. I've decided to base my next large scale sculptural painting on it. I built the structure. It's 90" tall by about 72" wide. I'll probably be working this image for the next few days as my larger piece comes into more focus. Then again, I might not. We shall see what comes. 😊

Feeling a lot more open and happy with this work. Yesterday’s exercise in freeing myself up worked! First day posting between 6-7pm instead of 2-3am. This is my new goal.

This is the loosest one of the night. Trying to cleanse my palate so to speak. Tomorrow we shall see what today’s abandon brings. 😊

Making space, Monotype of the Day #179

January 9, 2019

After a fruitful talk with @pingreeart I realized my discomfort with yesterday’s post was over thinking. So I’m letting that imagery rest for a few days so it can come out in a more organic way. Instead I’m going back to instinct alone. Such a relief to get my flow back and to step out of my own way!

Experimenting, Monotype of the Day #178

January 8, 2019

Trying not to judge while I figure out how to get the effects I’m looking for. Feeling uncomfortable. I’m mid-step. Hopefully I land well. Hope you are having a great day or night depending on where in the world you are 😊

I can’t decide what I think of this. Sometimes the job of an artist is to suspend judgement and just keep working. Often judging a work stops the creative flow into the next piece. Tonight I asked my husband to judge instead and he said post. Thanks honey 😘

I think this needs another layer. However, my studio was filled with epoxy fumes so I had to beat a hasty retreat. I may work on this tomorrow or perhaps not. Who knows? Certainly not me! 😊 Also good news on the studio front. I’ve moved back to my old studio. Smaller than the living room but it contains the art fumes behind a closed door while I hatch other plans. Feeling a lot happier. I am so spoiled and blessed to have my studio.

This blue is much more intense than the photo. Not sure why the camera isn’t picking it up today. I’m without studio temporarily. We had to reclaim the living room over the holiday. It’s really got me out of sorts. I haven’t restored it yet because the fumes from my work travel our whole home impregnating virgin cloth. Perhaps I retake my old studio? I’m rethinking my approach but at the same time I’m itching to get back to my projects. Send me positive thoughts. There must be a good solution. I’m listening and waiting for the answer to appear.
