What you Brought Home

So I am still working on that dress but I can never resist starting another project before actually finishing one. Not too long ago, I made this painting. It basically is along the same theme as that ceramics piece I posted the other day, just in a different medium. I suppose those kinds of ideas have just been bouncing around in my head lately.
Here’s another picture without those shadows:
Here’s a picture of what it looked like while I was working on it:
& I just really like this picture. I was taking a snapshot of the painting, but this little puppy was like, “oh wait, is something getting more attention than I am? That can’t be right, let me just stick my head in here.”

that’s really beautiful ^^
thank you!
Just looking through your site makes me want to start creating things again! Now that I’m done with classes for the summer I suppose I should. Actually, I KNOW I should. It’s just hard to break back into painting after so long, especially when I’ve been out of it for so long that I fear I may be rusty, and I’m a perfectionist so if I don’t do it amazingly the first time I get annoyed and drop it :<
i’m kind of the same way so i know what you mean! sometimes when a project isn’t going how i wanted, i just feel like scrapping the thing & moving on.
for the most part, i just focus on the actual act of making something rather than what i wish the end result to look like. this way, even if something comes out really ugly, i at least had a great time making it! also i can be a bit stubborn at times & once i get an idea in my head, i feel i have to pursue it to its end.
i would love to see your paintings if you do decide to get back into it!
You’ll be the first to see if I ever get around to it! 🙂

thanks so much! & no problem, i really love the art you’ve got posted on your blog!
Such a beautiful painting I love this theme of pain/suffering and then slowly healing from it. Thank you so much for your recommendation of Live Mocha… I am going to try it out and see if it works for me! 🙂
thanks! that whole thing has been so important to me lately. i am definitely on the end of feeling better than ever, but it was no easy task getting there. in a way, i am almost glad for the bad experience, it certainly expanded my views on things & really helped me to relate to people on a different level. i think most of us have experienced things so painful, we weren’t sure we’d make it out all right. i think it’s so beautiful how people face these things & are able to take on so much.
i hope you like live mocha! i certainly enjoyed using it when i did. maybe i will jump back on since i have more time now, but hmmmm what language to study? so many choices!
What a neat little painting! I love your site and your lovely photos!
