Art is always on
my mind. And the only way to deal with
an obsession like that is to learn to live with it. When the TV is on, I am doodling, when I go
out there is always a small sketch pad with me.
Even when I get ready to sleep there is a sketch pad near the bed, for
those times a picture pops in my brain just as my eyes are closing.
Because I have
learned to grab ideas when ever they happen, I always have a source to work
from when real time allows.
Thought I would
share the start of one of these ideas. The
sketch is on a small 5 x 7 drawing pad, one of many I did while pretending to watch
TV with my husband. When I had the time to get some oil paint out, instead of sitting
and trying to think of something to paint, I accessed the nearest sketch pad and
picked the first one that caught my interest.
The Painting
is on watercolor paper 140 lb that was gessoed with orange colored gesso. I keep a small pile of prepped paper handy. This is a working idea now. The small painting is complete, but also may
lead to a larger work.
