Beginning of an abstract painting consisting of brass, red, white, green and navy.  Shapes are amorphous.

 

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.

Today was lovely. H and I worked on hanging up things in the bedroom. We have afew more things left to hang but it looks so much better. We dropped off two large living room chairs at the thrift store then went for an impromptu trip to the French bakery and pick up a kouign amann each. Later we went to the art store. I’ve more or less decided I am going back to my mixed media dreamscapes on photopaper. I find a standard photo size to be very familiar and working with the reactions of that come with the paper make it more interesting for me. I have some ideas and I’m pretty excited to start executing them. We finally made it to the park as well, it was gorgeous there. Alfonzo had a good time meeting people and other (small) dogs. The sunset was very pretty (pictured) and I managed to get some additional photos for painting inspiration. I made tostadas for dinner. I was craving something Taco Bell adjacent minus the tummy ache.

We still need to give Alfonzo another walk, and we may play a couple games of rummy. I’m not sure what I want to do tomorrow… maybe I’ll sift through my art supplies for a selection to use. Often I find that helps me solidify ideas.
