Art Project: Pushing paint

Thin out two colors with water in your palette. On your paper, push the colors together, using water or paint to blend the colors. Fill the entire paper. That is your first layer. Add another layer, building up the colors.

Plumb Line: 5/10/10

11am Ready to paint the bright blue painting I started on 5/2 while working on "Bliss." I'm starting to use gel medium so my paints dry glossy. It's looking cool. Bliss is having a handful of good people who you feel better after talking to them. A word that popped out at me while reading Zechariah was ...

Black, White and Shades of Grey: 5/7/10

The silver wrapping paper is drying. Not sure what I will use on top. Black something, pen, marker. I'm not sure. At 8:20 pm LA time, I wrote an email to Jeanie. "Are you there, if you are, call me, it's 11:20 pm your time." I started with the micaceous iron oxide and blended it ...

Inner Space: 5/6/10

Playing with charcoal on the blue wrapping paper. Not sure where this is going but I am happy doing what I love to do. I am blessed to be able to work on my art, refine my blog, and my book. I found three great writing books yesterday and the first one I'm reading is ...

Remote Designer: 5/4/10

What a day! So close to working from home today. An agency in Irvine tried setting me up to work off of one of their computers but the technology wasn't working. The next day I thought of trying my old modem, the one I use to video chat with Chloe. It would be great to ...

Tuning Fork: 4/25/10

When I was lying in bed this morning, I saw this image in my mind. At first I called it a tuning bar, but when I looked up the image online, it was a tuning fork: a small steel instrument with two prongs, which when struck sounds a certain fixed tone in perfect pitch; used ...

Dire: 4/25/10

Dire = calling for quick action, urgent. Learning to break away from what blocks me. My painting is quieting my thoughts to help me hear the intuitive whispers.

Bog: 4/24/10

Bog: a wet,spongy ground, characterized by decaying moss that forms peat: partly decayed, moisture absorbing plant matter used as plant covering or fuel. My thoughts are bogging me down. When they absorb into my painting and begin to decay, they are turned into fuel.
