My problem is sorta' the opposite, i want to do more art for me, less art for commercial stuff, but I need the $$. This always has resulted in me doing like one painting a year...and saying"next year will be the year."<BR/><BR/>But I can't do that anymore as it will take a few years to get where i want.<BR/><BR/>I say at times its forcing yourself, even if robotic moves to get those first humps, steps done then you end up getting into your groove. Your paintings were getting better and better last year and i think you were the best student painter by far. I always looked forward to seeing yer next painting.<BR/><BR/>If you feel stagnant lets do a painters party, we could set up a still life or hit the park early on sat/Sun, hell even a weekday. Paint for 3-4 hours and do lunch, home in time to feed yer hubby with lead paint all over yer fingers ;->Mike Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345070847409367151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-1154981819735176592006-08-07T16:16:00.000-04:002006-08-07T16:16:00.000-04:00Ya know what's truly sad?

I have a roll of 60" wide canvas and more stretchers than both the local AC Moore and Michael's combined (not saying much, I know, but you get the picture) and a nearly full tub of gesso that just sit and collect dust. I just went to yet another blog on myspace that belongs to some person totally unknown to me but wants to be my friend, and I saw some really great art. She's not adding me to her list (why do these people want a total stranger on their "friends" lists?), but she inspired me just the same. Will I do the painting or a load of wash? I don't know. I need to be around art and artsy people to feel the drive to create it and that just doesn't seem to happen very often! I'm actually looking forward to getting back to the manic-ness of school.....Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811426267544405401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-1154969793182268132006-08-07T12:56:00.000-04:002006-08-07T12:56:00.000-04:00This is really nice! lil' buster in the shadeThis is really nice! lil' buster in the shadealanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820702538896622030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-1154958349926673552006-08-07T09:45:00.000-04:002006-08-07T09:45:00.000-04:00Thanks Jamar, but those rusty shears are antiques....Thanks Jamar, but those rusty shears are antiques..and a deadly weapon all at the same time.Mike Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345070847409367151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-1154958236627030292006-08-07T09:43:00.000-04:002006-08-07T09:43:00.000-04:00Kelly, hahaha, well you'll get an earful soon enou...Kelly, hahaha, well you'll get an earful soon enough.

Like that quite a bit. Since classes are coming up fast and I'm getting antsy, I feel the need to do a critique and put in one or two of Catherine's "bad cop" pointers along with the good things.
