Things that feel good
Ahhhhhh....
Today I modeled for the first time this year and had a blast! The artists in the figure drawing group kept commenting on how joyful and happy I seemed to them. Well, yeah, I had missed posing, inspiring artists, and being in that kind of creative atmosphere for the past several weeks. You bet it felt good!
I painted for a whole day with my Mother-in-Law (a.k.a., my mentor) while we were visiting them in Black Mountain. It was soooo good to do! We both worked in oils, painting roughly from 11 AM to 6 PM that day. I felt so energized!
Over the past few days I've been organizing my studio, finding new space there and doing some painting-prep (gessoing some surfaces to paint on.) I have two books by my side: The Painter's Handbook, and The Art Spirit, both of which my sister got me for Christmas. :) I have my work cut out for me.
Tomorrow I am going to see the Inspiring Impressionism exhibit with rigel_kent, after a swing trough Little Five Points and a bite for lunch. Should be fun!
