22 Aug 2008 05:40pm mood ~ Better than yesterday. I played with oil pastels a little today, haven't decided if it is worth scanning or not. Colors are pretty, but it really looks like a crayon scrawl blended together in places. Part of the problem is probably the paper I used, cold-press watercolor, 140lb, it may not have enough texture to help them do what they are supposed to do. Also, they might be a little dryed out - I noticed a tear in the plastic covering them after I got them home. That would make blending less effective. I did a bit of research before I opened up the box. But, they weren't that expensive, and I can "thin" them with medium. Since it is not water-soluable, I have a few ideas running around. I have all these "ideas running around" that never seem to get out. I start to do something and it ends up being something completely different.   desaturate

13 Aug 2008 04:11am mood ~ content I start shacking next Tuesday. My boss was pleased that I'm going to do it again this year. I have some ideas for painting, so hopefully, I can tear myself away from WoW long enough to actually do it. I should be sleeping, it is, after all, 4:14am. But, I'm not. And that's ok.   desaturate

09 Aug 2008 05:48pm I've framed my first piece of art. Simple frame. #5 will be in the mail on Monday.   desaturate

Abstracts 03 Aug 2008 04:19pm mood ~ accomplished Color may not be true, seems a bit washed out on my monitor. Also uploaded to my new deviantart account SummerSnowflakes 080308-01 Raw Acrylic on paper ( cut for size, 5 more, not dial-up friendly ) 1 grayscale rainbow   desaturate

03 Aug 2008 12:42pm mood ~ artistic Just did 6 abstract acrylics. Used paint, paper, waxpaper, palette knife. Interesting. I'll scan when thoroughly dry. I'm glad I used the acrylics instead of going straight to the oils. I can see many new possibilities of layering that I hadn't even considered before. I'm not going to do anything more to these six though. They seem... as done as a painting ever gets.   desaturate

01 Aug 2008 02:52pm mood ~ anxious My lil flake is going to Florida for 10 days with her friend and her friend's parents. While I'm happy she gets to go, I'm anxious about her being gone. What will I be like when she goes to college? AND why can't we have two moods? Anxious and sorta happy can go together. They can. Can't they? 3 grayscale rainbows   desaturate
