A Year of Making Art, Day 191: Painting Again

October 27, 2007  Day 191

I finally started painting again today after returning my studio to its "normal" state at the end of the art trail.  It is always hard to get back into painting when I've been away from it, and I began by taking a canvas I was fairly happy with and turning it into a bigger problem to solve:

  Canvas 23  36" x 36"

In today's drawing I went back to the blue-green series of calligraphy pens, using the brush pens to fill in spaces.  I really prefer these calligraphy pens to anything else, and need to see if I can find them in more color shades than I currently have.

  Drawing #196  12" x 9"

I was a bit down this morning, feeling bored by the sameness of my daily routine.  But I went ahead and worked in spite of it, and then this afternoon Adrian and I took Roxy for a walk in the woods.  We went out after a fresh rain, and it was warm enough that the air felt like Spring instead of late October.

(Note:  There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
