Well these are the first paintings in about a month or more that I have started. I haven't had much time lately to be in my studio because of work and life. I had a lot of house guests too and it is my spare room, so I really couldn't work in here. But now I have my studio back and I need to start doing something.
It is kinda hard knowing that school has started, and that I am not going back. Seeing everyone online settling into their new studios is kind of bitter sweet for me. But I have my own space and have completely my own time to do what I want. I don't have any deadlines right now, so basically all I have to do is make sure that I'm staying on track and making work.
One thing that is hard is that I don't have any assignments to get done to keep myself going. when I was in school it was, "I need to get this done by tuesday, and this by thursday" and now its "well...I can get it done when I feel like it."
Maybe everyone feels like this at some point or another. I don't know if its just me or not. Do artists go through periods where they don't make work? They have to. I can't beat myself up about not working.
But anyways, here is something new that I am working on. I have gotten myself a calendar and going to start marking down mandatory studio hours for myself. Even if it is just to make a post, rewrite my statement, paint, or clean.
Will be posting new paintings soon :)
