Working on a portrait in between paintings. I'm thinking of trying to do it as a side thing in addition to teaching and making my own paintings. This one is just relaxing craft -- Tru's mother who passed away 16 years ago and a family friend -- going to give it to his grandma. I really do enjoy doing portraits but of course want to mess them up and can't....
feels good. You know there's always that worry that you'll be unsettled forever.....
I'm thinking about volunteering to write for a blog that documents the downtown LA artwalk.... should be cake for me and will force me to get down there and actually talk to people.
But is that a good investment of my time? And I would need a sub the first thursday of every month and lose out on pay.........
opinions pls -- :)
There are so many different options for hanging it... I don't know. Maybe it doesn't even need the light. Maybe it needs both lights or maybe only the interior one??? If it goes to the floor it feels to interior design-ish, maybe. Pin it with more random tension or centered tension or what? I fucking love it and will have reason for everything soon... I think... What do you guys think? Also I've been reading color theory for the first time today. Good stuff. That burn I've been talking about has a name... After Images. Crazy right. Also that drawing of the few contour lines of a wave like shape was finally turned into a sculpture. Its about 18" x 24". I think I'm going to wrap it in fabric too. Pictures soon. I also went to the Downtown art walk. As always it was alright, free white wine but no food, can you believe it! Bull shit! Art was soso. A little better than SA... about the same as the Brewery maybe, or maybe Bergamot on a bad night without food. Anyways love you guys. Miss you to the max.
