Lazing, Acrylic on canvas, 12X16, July 2010
I like painting quietly.
For two nights now I’ve been experimenting with a new medium…acrylics. Water-based, so I can paint indoors, yay. Dries super quickly, so results are almost instant. Very interesting possibilities, but trade offs are: not much blending allowed and can’t mix big color batches in one go (the paint dries up quickly!). Challenge is to work on color mixing, and mixing the same shades again and again.
Just the same, excited for the many adventures ahead. I have a new toy, time to play play play!

Ink on Paper, May 2010
Although we try to keep a proactive mindset everyday, at some point we do catch ourselves waiting. Waiting for inspiration to hit, for new opportunities to arrive.
This slipping–for days to become better on their own, or for elephants to fall from the sky–is there a constructive or win-win way of doing it?
When does waiting shift from being passive to active?
