Art and Photography

I have finally taken the plunge and am actively working on a canvas that has been sitting in the rejects heap for more than a year. So far I've painted over the entire canvas with white acrylic paint (I ran out of gesso, but have ordered some from Dick Blick) and then I randomly stroked and spattered a mix of Pthalo Green and Titanium White. I'm not sure yet where I am going with this, but hope to play more this afternoon after my tutoring session.

I also wanted to share a couple of photos I took in the yard a couple of days ago that I think are worth sharing. The photography bug is biting me and I think I am going to have to set aside some time in the coming days to give in to it.  I am thinking I may do a journal with 30 or 31 pages and take a pic a day to put in it. I've seen this idea online somewhere. Sorry, I don't remember where.

Here is a picture I took of the roses in the side garden:

They have the most wonderful smell!

And here is one of the "babbling" part of the creek right outside the back door. I love falling asleep this time of year with the windows open and this soothing sound.

It is nice and cool this morning and for a change I don't feel suffocated with the humidity. I think I will take the camera out and walk the yard.

And then I will work more on arranging my art space. I have been working a bit here and there over time and am hoping to finish some time this week. Perhaps then I will share some pix of my creative space.

For now, I am off to walk the yard, eat breakfast, work just a bit on my room, tutor mathematics for an hour or so, walk the treadmill, shower and then begin my day.
