I have been so busy lately that finding time to create my art, let alone post on here about it, has been quite difficult. I now understand why being an artist is considered a full time job...because it is! I have a million ideas swirling around in my head and only a measly one to two hours a week to get them out of there! Here is what is swirling around, just so you can get a sense of how full my head really is:
*a series of season leaf/tree paintings...I have this idea to make them in a style with Asian influence. Elongating the canvas so it reads more like a scroll, and using soft muted colors with strong black lines...maybe even use ink for the tree branches, etc. I really want to get started on this one because it is so exciting for me! I want to see what it will look like, and if I am able to produce the image I have of it in my head.
*I really want to start using my sewing machine. I haven't found time to go to the fabric store to pick up fabric, needles, thread or a pattern (this is part of why not having a car can sometimes be annoying, it takes so long to get somewhere by bus that once I get out of work and over to the fabric store...the store is already closed!) BUT I have plenty of awesome ideas in my head.
Those are projects such as a) new pillow shams for the pillows on the couch in the living room. b) a cute fall skirt. c) an awesome fall work dress (I am imagining a 40s inspired pencil skirt type dress with a soft - or boat cut - neckline....)
Meanwhile I am busy trying to juggle work and class while leaving enough time for me to come home and relax with a glass of wine. Life sure is hard :)
