A new set of birds, kind of in keeping with the previous two sets, composition wise. I have focused on the faces and have them coming in from the side of the canvas. Off center, kind of like me. :)

Playing Catch Up

Ooooooh I am so close to being all caught up again.

• I finished my "Popfly's".
• Last weeks fish paintings are done. Woo Hoo!
• This week I am on track, on schedule with my paintings.
• I will (hopefully) be able to sneak the last few finishing touches on the 14 aceo's I have from 3 weeks ago. They are drawings of feathers and I had an idea I just haven't been able to implement until now.

It's all coming together now. Of course if I wasn't such a perfectionist, my life would probably be a lot easier. I don't know why I put this pressure on myself to not only get the artwork done, but also to have them be "good". If I create something in a day that I don't like, then I feel compelled to create a whole new work (which makes 2 pieces in a day) that meets my standards. I just have it in my head that each piece needs to be showable.

I'm now looking into MyPublisher, to create coffee table books with my artwork. I think it would be really cool to have that.

I am calling these Popfly's because of the contrasting colours in each painting. Bright contrasting colours are very "pop". ;]

Trials and Tribulations

The last few weeks have been more challenge than art. I have been extremely busy with life, and finding the time to create every day has become difficult. Currently its about playing catch up, and I am a week behind in my artworks. Hopefully I will get all caught up this week because I have lots of cool, and creative ideas that I would like to get going on. I need to be focused though to begin those projects. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.

I spoke to someone recently that had also tackled the painting a day project (they did graphite drawings), and their story ended after 160 days. An amazing accomplishment to be sure, but I hope I can avoid the same sense of tedium that struck this artist after 5 months.

Here I go into month number 4.
