Well, this has become a familiar site lately, hasn't it? A mug full of coffee, brightly painted canvas, and a messy workspace. I promise to become more diverse after the holiday show season gets underway. But right now? This is my everyday existence. I come in, I sit down, I doodle. Hello? How fun is that???!!!
Today, just to add a little more chaos, I have sprayed fixative onto my canvas. I think I might be a wee bit high. (I've opened the window. No cause for alarm.) Anyway, this whole painted canvas thing is sort of an experiment. I drew over the paint with watercolor crayons, and I want those lines to stay put. Hence, the fixative spray. After it dried, I rubbed my fingers over the crayon, and didn't get any smudging, so I think that may have worked. Brilliant.
And, since my little freak out the other night, I seem to be blissfully back to my peaceful state. I wish I could really make you understand what an unusual thing this is for me. Truly. I'm sort of a drama queen. I kind of thrive on stress. And if there's not enough of it occurring naturally, I happily create some myself. It's crazy, really. And this "all is well in my world" attitude is so much more pleasant. And I'm not positive about this, but I think I'm a little easier to live with. Maybe. Hey, it's not easy being me. (And as My Beloved would tell you, "Honey, it's not easy being with you.") I get it.
Anyway, I have my To-Do-List Majora (that's Latin for big-ass-list-of things-that-need-to-get-done). And it's not freaking me out. At. All. I just go down the line, check things off, pick something else to work on, and get 'er done! What the what? Who are you?, and give me back my body!
So, the countdown is on! Two weeks from today, I'll be packing up my sister's minivan (oh, so bad for my image! But only so much stuff will fit into Maude the Pod when the top is up. *deep sigh* My fantasy of vintage VW van ownership is achingly present these days. Can't you see it? Bright orange, white roof, moon hubcaps, and Tammy-fied into cuteness?! But I digress.) Packing that van I'll be, and toddling off to my first show of the season. Excited and terrified, all at the same time!!!
Back to the "ta-dah" list. Back to work. Back to blissing out in the studio. See you later!
Oh my, your doodles are delicious! Works of art really.
