Sooo I haven’t been here… Past tense… I’m here now obviously… I unplugged for a few days… and then a few days more… I’m sure the stories of my adventures on those days will be many future blog posts…. But for now I’m starting a new category and tag on the blog (art)… More than likely this will be the only post in it… but for the fun of it… lets act like I’m going to be getting back to this more often…

I finally found sometime to paint while unplugged!! I used to paint almost daily… acrylics… on cheap canvas… with cheap brushes so I don’t have to berate myself over the care of any of it…. But this weekend I tried something new… this is an opaque matte gel… it gives texture, you can add color…. or you can paint white on a white canvas and try to guess what it looks like … which of course is what I did…. oddly enough… I really enjoyed this because when I would snap a picture with my camera, the flash would reflect off the gel and you could see what I was creating…. Quite lovely really….

It was kind of amazing taking this picture… because the canvas was white… and you couldn’t see her on it…

I added color to her… but wished I hadn’t, I don’t like this as much… but here it is anywaysSooooo There you have it…
