I know! I've not been posting for months ....because we recently moved after 21 years in our old house. We're downsizing big time so I spent the last 90 days sorting, donating, selling, tossing out things...and almost going nuts in the process. Also I moved my studio from the house to a fun funky building with about 20 other artists. So all that packing and unpacking too.
The other day I painted for the first time in months. I was so "cold" I decided to just use a cheap canvas board, divide it in quarters and quickly paint four warm up impressions of this birdie. Various colors, timed myself on a couple (20 min each). I felt like someone getting back on a bike after years of not riding.
So today I went in and painted a 'final' 6x6" version - this little guy. It went really fast - doing practice pieces sure makes a difference (like practicing a piano piece lots before a recital). Anyway - I'm pretty pleased with the way he came out.
BTW - I have stopped getting all but two of the blogs I have signed up for. I even tried to sign-up again - nada. I'm really bummed because I so enjoy getting my friends' painting posts.
I'm curious if you are getting mine. If you are, would you let me know by commenting below or sending me an email? THANKS
Mary
