The Sticky Note Art Exercise

One of the best gifts I ever got as a kid was a small transistor radio. It wasn't just music, it was autonomy. Time has moved on.. but I still have it.

(Digitally edited the hole in the center where it will attach to a larger piece.)

Acrylic on.. plastic switch plate. 😂

I saw this old citrus crate label I loved and decided to paint it onto a switch plate the previous owner of my home left behind. She and I had vastly different taste. It's not a perfect match for my vampire kitchen, but I think it goes well enough!

There's 30 some odd years between these two paintings.. and years of my life I'd like to do over. It's hard not to wonder how much better I'd be if I had worked harder. How much better could I be now if I could just practice and stop worrying about making ends meet..

In case there was confusion about the size of my mural... The door is seven feet tall.

One day I'll have a proper workspace, rather than perching on the edge of a bed over a folding table. Today is not that day.

Mural details.

Finished mural 2 this morning.

Mural 2 progress.

Finally got my outline up this week, and started on the last part of mural 2.

I should've painted the trim before I started on the door.. too late now.
