Day 12

Lady silhouette

Acrylic painting based on magazine collage

Little note. When taking this picture the stripes triggered the UPC reader and found a number.
I do not know which product scans.
It shouldnt. In the collage the stripes and 2 ladies in striped dresses and turned sideways.
A plain background outlines the silhouette of a woman from the side. The shape is kneeling and bending backwards to hold the feet like a yoga pose or stretch. The silhouette is striped black and white, thin vertical stripes.

Still life of things I like

Acrylic painting
A still life painting of the inside of a box. There is a sheet of mirror mylar and we see me in the back, distorted by the mylar. There's a cardboard city line and a checkerboard floor with many little dudes including boba Fett, a velveteen owl and an anatomical model among others.

The key is to have a low energy guy and be willing to be outside for a long time. I can't resist if he asks to go out to smell
I eat the seeds too, I'm excited I way oversalted last year's. Hopefully I don't screw it up.
Hope yours turn out great

A bluetiful woman

What a wonderful time.

On this night of Halloween
When tricks are treats and pumpkins gleem
Make a pact within myself
Bring forwards ideas from off the shelf
Forced to take on that fear
To post new art each day this year
Much is new, more is old,
some got wet and died from mold

#ArtYear

In the spirit of scary season I feel like I should scare myself.

Starting on Halloween I will be forcing myself into exposure therapy and actually begin posting the way I've been planning to.

What does that mean?
Some semblance of a schedule I suppose.

Stick around and see

I just woke up after the best sleep ever. Yesterday newton went to the vets to check out this lump in his belly and they were able to confirm it's only a lipoma, made of fat and we don't have to be scared of what's to come.

I guess I've been worried about him.
Who wouldn't, lookit this guy

It's midnight and I can only think to myself, how would I have had the huberous this afternoon to think I could make a spreadsheet and organize all my physical traditional art?
Why would past me do this to present me.
Future me would appreciate it but damn I overestimated my gusto to #organize
A messy studio area, all the working surfaces are covered with stacks of paper that need to be sorted. It feels like there are thousands, there might be. All of the remaining physical art (not canvas paintings) are there. Some were lost to water damage years ago but I didn't expect this much paper (I work on canvas more).
