Today's Pieces

So almost finished my first set of naturals, for the next landscape chessboard. Thinking ahead to what the colours need to be for the opposing side; hard to decide. Leaning towards a fall colouring, but feel might be difficult to appear natural. We'll see.

Where Inspiration can come from ...

In the case that some wonder where inspiration strikes, sometimes it's as simple as the broccoli florets in the afternoon salad. Can't you see the chess piece in this??

Playing with Oil Sticks Tonight

ecided tonight that just because I don't know what to paint, doesn't mean I shouldn't be working on something, so then started playing with my oil sticks. They are an unusual medium for me, and I rapidly put them aside after purchasing them. Tonight seemed optimal to play with them. Oil on paper.

The film that covers the sticks is kinda annoying, and the medium is blocky and rather hard to control, something which may or may not appeal to one. Suits my mood at the moment. Not sure that this is painting, but then what is anyway. Just playing around at the moment, trying to feel anything other than what I really feel. On paper.
