Blehhhhhh.
I started a painting, I drew it first with a micron pen on canvas and then watercolored, but the watercolors aren't doing what I want them to do, so I may have to use acrylics. Here it is so far:
It'll look so much better once I do more work on it, color-wise. I feel like my mind is opening up like a happy little flower and I am ready to work on all kinds of wonderful projects, but my surroundings are not in a way that jives with that. Hmmm. I went to give O'lie some dry kibble and poured it all over her back, and had to rake it out of her fur with my fingers. I think I still have a fever. I did get some cleaning done and put some books away on the shelf over my bed, and took out a trashbag full of used Kleenex. I realized I need to draw more, and learn a lot of the basics that I imagine other people take for granted, like decent shading and perspective, things I often suck at. Tomorrow is Thursday, and I am so happy I'm getting paid Friday, and I will stock up on paper, and maybe order some paper from DickBlick so I can get back to work on my collages... I want a 6'x6' block of black Prang watercolor. I could sleep on it when I wasn't using it. I also need to buy a big folder/ envelope thingy to keep papers and drawings and crap in. My stuff is such a mess, I can't even use being sick as an excuse, since it was a mess before I got sick.
I called in to work today but can't tomorrow, so I'm going to bed now.
