Morning check in Jan. 5, 2025

[embracingcalm]

 

This morning has mostly been nice.   I woke up at 5:30 lit the shrine, did the dishes, washed my face, feed the cats, walked the dog, woke up h, made coffee, photographed the sunrise, walked the dog once more, ate breakfast and  sketched for about 20 minutes.  I started this on New Year’s Eve which is when I determined I would like to stop buying canvases in favor of other mediums.  I still have several canvases lying around though and I hate to waste things so I plan to use them somehow.  I’m considering this specific piece a doodle which really frees up some room for creativity.  

 Update:  I was staring at this beginning of a painting while drinking some tea and realized that I’ve copied some of this from a Salvador Dali painting of a camel.  So, I’ll either have to rework it or (more likely) will need to spray this thing with a solvent to try again.
