Day 25: Aaaaahhhhh!! I love this messy mix of color! The green was totally unexpected. I threw some red and yellow into black and last minute added some khaki and this is what happened. I'm so excited. The littles helped me smear and I loved watching them get messy with their little fingers and palms. Much hysterical Ezra laughter. I've had such a creative dry spell recently, it's been a very intense and internal time, but coming through it has been like beginning to breaking out of a cocoon. It's all so much brighter and better, more colorful, and I feel so different. All this and I'm not even out yet.

Day 24: I have not given up!!! I used the painting as a tarp for some bottles I painted and never used. (anyone want some brightly colored soda bottles?) I tipped it up and used my finger tips to help it down a bit. i've maxed out again, so on to another idea.

Found them! Day 17: I was playing with a pouring medium i bought. Yay! Day18: Starting fresh, since the original idea I had didn't pan out the way I wanted.

Day 8: I like this color, glaze I guess. Even though my instinct is to call it “breastfed baby poo” there’s something really appealing about it. I had thrown on some purple but I wiped it off because I didn’t want to cover this color. I want to do more with it. I added mod podge to give it more texture and couldn’t wait for it to dry before I snapped the picture.

Day 7: Feathers are pretty, right? Light, fragile, soft. They float and flip, not a care in the world. It’s hard for me to draw feathers that don’t turn into leaves, but it’s nice to struggle with something so trivial. There’s a lot of texture on this canvas already and I’m looking forward to what comes through.
