In any case lots of work done on this painting today, lots of work left to do (purple shirt girl needs to have some shoulders to hold that head up! And then gotta make it so you see what they're doing- drawing all over each other!)

Painting is crazy. For 30 min you'll be actively making things worse, completely on tilt, wondering why the hell you ever thought you could paint when what you are working on is undecipherable. Two strokes later, it starts coming together and you wonder where the hell the face you painted came from

Todays work on "Chrissy" - an 18x18 oil painting. Still in the land of base layers and local colors

Why should I have spent my last three months without art festivals slowly building up more paintings before an art show that was an incredible win to get accepted to when I could instead panic paint at the final hour?

I always thought it was an ordinarily southern breakfast treat to have a slice of last night's cornbread sliced in the middle, warmed with butter, slathered in jelly. I had it every morning I woke up at grandma's but haven't met another person who has?

Was only at my dad's house and hour before he dropped "you should look up how many cases of cancer are being cured by ivermectin." The conversation pivot was swift but we just got here wish me luck.

Today's misbehaving male at the art show: grown ass man picks up this little figure study and says "so did you really sit there and have to look at 'that' to draw this? - sir this woman is a Queen and your clueless eyes do not deserve to behold her

The sad darkside of art festivals: traveling the country seeing just how many clever, terribly strong, fiercely kind, wonderful women have partners who constantly belittle them. Every time I have a couple as a neighbor, it's a 50/50 shot....

Today's progress on "Spotlight, #2" and the state of the studio, plus the colors I've decided are 'the' palette of me and my brother's childhood

I've also been sketching studies of childhood photos of my brother (and me) to prep for the big paintings I'm working on, and though I've had years of therapy and my self confidence is p good, Its funny to me that i still draw my childhood self with my childhood angst lol (also, how 90s fabulous)

The Hokusai museum in Japan redefined sketchbooks for me. The recent trip to Croatia gave me reason to Kickstart the practice. Here's a few sketches from Croatia!

Took decades of hating painting and a good bit of time unlearning art school brainwashing to finally truly understand the guidance "paint what you know" that they tout. And now, even in the roughest, uncanniest phase of my paintings I get shivers and feel like I'm speaking to the dead.

It is incredibly obvious and ironic and relieving and frustrating that I discovered (though many have tried to tell me this before) that the best way to break my months long lack of motivation in the studio was to take a week off of the studio (and other responsibilities). A big thing is being made.
