(the title of this post is from a Woody Allen movie of the same name - I couldn't think of a post title. I saw the movie about 1970 or so at Winterland in SF before a Pink Floyd concert) It's a Japanese film where he redubbed the sound with his own comedy script - it's really funny) None of this has anything to do with this post.......
I was going to start this post by apologizing for being gone from my blog for so long but then I got to thinking who am I apologizing to really? Sometimes it just happens that we get busy with other things and suddenly days and maybe weeks go by. I'm sure anyone reading this gets that. To be perfectly frank there isn't really much to blog about...........I've done those paintings I mentioned in the previous post......done some fiddling about with sketching and fleshing out of characters in my art book and sketch book or just doodling while watching TV at night (as seen below)...........still looking for a job (not successfully). Still planning to get my Etsy shop reopened (even I'm sick of hearing that - what is my problem that I haven't done it yet? Anyone?)
My hope is to get back on a more even keel.....start taking photos again.....become more interesting. To be honest I've had a bout with some anxiety lately but I am working on sorting myself out and getting my joy back. It happens to the best of us. I am normally a pretty upbeat and silly gal so it has been a bit disconcerting to to deal with. I'm just keeping things real people. Those that have dealt with this will understand......it's up to me and only me to get back on track - I know I can.
It's cold and rainy today....feels like winter. For quite awhile now it's actually felt more like Spring. Goofy Mother Nature....she's a fickle gal!
So here are the aforementioned doodles and drawings of late.........
This is "Marie AnTREEnette".........a sketch I did and colored with Copic markers one evening while watching TV. I am thinking of redoing her on canvas and changing her up a bit.
"She's an integral part of her garden" (markers and pen)
Just a drawing in a sketchbook in a style I started a few years ago....the big, bald headed characters with little bodies.
pen and ink in an art journal I bought a long time ago made of handmade paper.
I'll be back - hopefully with bells on!!!
In the meantime......my hope for everyone is that you are happy, healthy and following your bliss whatever that is!
P.S. I am still not sure of the exact dates for Our World Our Art.....PLEASE do not post as if it's going on now.......that has already happened with someone. If you want you can add the badge to your sidebar so anyone can click on it and get the information of what it is. BUT it definitely is not close to starting yet. I will let everyone know as soon as I have the dates set. Please be patient. (see left side bar)
