A Year of Making Art, Day 296: A Resolution and Peace

February 9, 2008  Day 296

Today I feel much better (see previous post).  After I broke down crying, Adrian and I had a good talk, and he agreed with me about the necessity of my having some peaceful time in the studio, and keeping our "stuff" separate.  It will take some work, but at least we agree on the goal.

In this morning's drawing I started with a brown calligraphy pen, adding black, then some tans: 

  Drawing #302  11" x 14"

Then I completed Canvas #35, filling in the rest of the spaces I'd drawn with brown and dark-brown paint:

Canvas #35 48" x 48"

I finally solved the proportional problem I was having when uploading images to this blog.  By saving them in Photoshop's "web" option as a GIF file, everything worked fine.  So now my square paintings will look square again.

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