Spectacular Sky

Have you been outside after 10pm tonight? It's simply spectacular out there! The clouds are moving incredibly fast, zooming across the midnight blue sky, revealing minute sparkles of stars in a wink and then they're gone. Amazing. Everyone needs to go out. Just go. I love it.

The half moon has that glow around it, creating a hole in the space with more depth than the surface of the whole. Sigh.

Tuesday Ponderings

Why do we paint? Is it to capture images that surround us, whether within or without ourselves? Or is it simply a method of communication, another venue to express ourselves when words fail? Does there really need to be a purpose.

There must be though, a reasoning of sorts, whether or not it is describable in terms relative to a common understanding because I need to paint. I feel a bit lost as I sit and wonder at where to go with my canvases. Do I keep the lines, or let them go. Are the lines there for me, or as part of something relayed to others.

New Studio

Still working out the quirks of having a new studio surroundings. The carpet is quite undesirable. At least Georgie likes it, so there is that. I've just been working in graphite and ink at the moment, foresaking paint for the coming week. The easel's still not agreeable. Managed to strain my back badly again, so between the two of us we're a pair. Poor George can barely move as well, and is in fact far worse off, so I won't be seen complaining. Sigh.

Still Adjusting

Noted its been over a month and haven't posted anything. So I've moved locations now, and am still adjusting. Probably take months to unpack and find everything. Miss my old home terribly. Found several new willow trees behind the other building, so it's a little better. Will post some little sketchings this weekend. Nothing too dramatic though, as have been wrapped up in mundane life-related-to-moving things all month. Really depressing stuff, with the exception of getting to see and spend time with my family and friends. That part was great.
