The month of November is over, and I thought I’d discuss my thoughts over the evnts of this month… At the beginning of this month I’d decided to have a bit of an internet fast, and embark on an art project. The internet “fast” consisted of me staying away from facebook,( I was spending way too much [...] Making quick sketches seems to be no problem. I am able to sketch just about anywhere, and make quick work of it, if I choose. Yesterday, we went and met my parents in Stroudsburg for a late lunch, while they were on a weekend getaway from New York City. Afterwards, we went and hung out in [...] Fabio is so close to being done with school. He is taking his last 2 classes, and then he needs to do 2 quick write-ups to get a couple other credits, and it’s bachelor’s degree, here we come. We’re so excited for the new year with no homework. Meanwhile, for the past several months, he parks [...] The entry from a few weeks ago, where you were to guess what place it might be. Here it is. It’s inspired by a picture I took when I was on a mission trip to Indonesia, 2 years ago. It was a year after the tsunami, and this was one of the places affected. There used to be [...] I’m working on another piece. I had hoped to finish last night, and now I’m hoping to finish it tonight. I am, however, experimenting, and using my awesome new easel, so, those things are great things. Just to keep you checking in, here’s me, working on the new easel. Isn’t it awesome?!! Any guesses as to what place [...] 5″x7″ watercolor on 140lbs. watercolor A quick piece, loosely based on a cemetary which we can see from the boys’ playroom window. It’s a quiet place I walked to, while I was birdwatching. I also watched this squirrel rest here for a few minutes. This post is long overdue. I should have photographed my process, but by the time I thought of it, it was too late. (approx. 5″x7″ watecolor on watercolor moleskine) Mixed with this painting, comes a lesson. Something about transience, and our inability to keep things the same. I’m still learning and processing it. This tree in our backyard went [...] Today was a quick and simple drawing. I chose to use a comic book like style, with a few colors, graphic style and thick black lines. It’s a building on 6th Street, which I saw and took a picture of, last February 6th as we walked around the Lower East Side, to celebrate our anniversary. Still on [...] Yes, the first day is over, and I survived. I checked my email a couple times, and logged into this blog, to check my comments, but other than checking for a recipe conversion, not only did I stay away from the internet, I stayed mostly away from my computer, except to upload some pictures. It was weird [...] I decided, sometime in the last couple weeks, that I was spending too much time online, and that was one reason I was not doing art, like I should be. So I devised a plan, to “fast” from the internet, unless it’s directly related to my art, and basic communication. What I mean is, I will [...] |
