An explanation?

There are a zillion reasons this video makes me happy. But I’m not sure I’ll go into them…

A drawing, and a few other bits

It’s true – I like to read my horoscope. It is just way too fun when something rings true, as happened this week, in the Stranger:
“It’s finally the right time for you to hear a piece of advice you weren’t ready for before. If I had told you this any earlier, you would [...]

Reminder to Self: Music counts.

Almost every free moment I have had the past few weeks has been spent in one of two ways: 1) Purging my apartment, getting rid of every single thing that I don’t really, really need. My goal is to be able to see under and around every piece of furniture without having something stashed there, [...]

My blue day, and my latest bird.

These pictures are from Thursday. I’m not sure why I didn’t post them right off the bat.
I’ve been reading a novel that I found in the lobby of my apartment building. It is about a village in England during the Plague. It is dark, doesn’t make for very good bedtime reading, and [...]

First real day of spring (for me, anyway)

I got to go on a mini-bike ride, it was almost warm, and the cherry blossoms were out in full force.
Every year I attempt to take pictures of them, and to paint them, but nothing ever seems to come close to the real deal.
Last night I had the worst insomnia I’ve had for awhile. [...]

Ruby’s paints

So…they’re not MY art supplies, but they got used. I didn’t get a picture of what I did because it irritated me. The picture at the bottom was a picture Ruby drew recently. I LOVE it.

I was going to do some art last night, but two things interfered. 1) It [...]

Moj momak’s cupcake.

This isn’t a use of art supplies, I know. But still. S picked me up at work yesterday, just to give me a ride home. He had also brought me this Trophy Cupcake. He does stuff like this all the time. ALL the time. It’s really no wonder that [...]

Probably not going to make it, but I gave it a shot.

I had a fantasy of filling up this journal before going on my trip, so that I could take my new smaller one. Oh well – I guess I will have to take them both.
I spent the evening last night scribbling with my watercolor pencils and watching the second and third episodes of the [...]

Back at it.

This project actually took place over the course of three evenings. I have colors in mind for it, but I didn’t have the patience tonight to do more than just try out my print in monochrome. I keep flipping back and forth between thinking this is an early winter/late fall tree, or an early [...]

A library book and a bad movie

It was sunny and cold, with crunchy snow on the ground, leftover from last night. I made myself a mini-batch of Rice Krispie Treats, turned on my bad movie (Melinda and Melinda by Woody Allen), and got to work. I was completely not in the mood for my art project and had to use [...]
