Thinking of Still Lifes

Wednesday, October 6, 2010

Instead of keeping a wooden egg in my bowl, I now use it as a soap dish at the bathroom sink. The turquoise dish looks very nice with the green bar of olive oil soap I have in there right now. It is kind of rustic. I’m thinking of setting up a still life with […]

Teapot on Trivet

Monday, September 20, 2010

With this drawing I was mainly testing out how graphite and watersoluble colored pencils look together. I think I like the combination because it has some bright color but also has the monotone of the graphite that I enjoy. I will try it out in some other drawings to see if I still want to work in it […]

Packing Up and Moving On

Thursday, September 16, 2010

I am craving a neat house — I’m still working on that right now. Please excuse the slow posting these days. I am working on drawings, but I am on a bit of an internet hiatus.

The Solitude of Prime Numbers

Friday, July 2, 2010

It has been some time since I have been able to read and enjoy a book sufficiently enough to actually finish it. I have been getting bored and easily distracted when reading books, and have often stopped midway through. I decided to give it another shot though, because I wanted to read a book while […]

Recent Workshops, Part Two

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

This is the second part to this post, where I write about two separate one day (10 am – 4 pm) workshops I recently took. This workshop was on the subject of Matting and Framing. I learned a lot of valuable info, even though I would have liked some things about the class to be a […]

Stacks

Monday, June 21, 2010

This sketchbook page gives you some clues to a subject besides art that interests me quite a bit. (Hint: I take my nutrition seriously.) I got a lot done yesterday, both on the art front and the chore front. You will see the fruits of my labor later on this week. Have a nice Monday […]

Seashells, interior and exterior

Sunday, May 23, 2010

I put off posting earlier this week, not because I had nothing to say, but because I had so much other stuff going on. On Friday I had my first acrylic painting class (which I will write a separate post on). I have also been doing lots of other painting and drawing.  Partly because I had […]

Tea on Rainy Days

Saturday, May 8, 2010

I had a lot of plans for this weekend — lots of things to do, projects to finish, etc. Somehow nothing I had planned seemed to work out, and I ended up wasting most of yesterday playing Bejeweled. Today it is raining and kind of chilly. I’m also a little bummed out because my scanner […]

Egg Bowl

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

I have this little bowl, a cheap Christmas Tree Shops special, gifted to me by one of my sisters. It’s has a misshapen appearance with the oddest curves and bumps and uneven glazing. I have had numerous opportunities to get rid of this bowl (and I almost did a few months ago when cleaning out my […]
