(Pretty Picture of Seattle streets that I took!)
Well there, I’ve been a bit absent from posting for a wee bit haven’t I? I’ve been rather busy with working, and working, and running to-and-fro while attempting to get things done, and baking an awful lot. (speaking of which I must remember to go to the store to buy some flour, and brown sugar…)
I do so enjoy cleaning, and moving things about in an orderly manner.
Actually I had a bit of a shock the other day when I received an e-mail from the Art Club Supervisor at SCC. It wasn’t a shock that she e-mailed me, but that she sent both me and the fellow in charge of a gallery space in the school’s library, a notification indicating the fact that I was the next in line to use it for display of my artwork for this upcoming quarter!
I had forgotten that I had asked her for a show! So there I sat reading the e-mail, then re-reading it, and finally figuring out that yes, I was to have a solo show! A few days later I received yet another e-mail indicating the fact that it was to be a wall space that was available to me.
This should come as little surprise, because of course, I am mostly a sculptor.
So… after a little anxiety attack, and explanations to the people around me who I may have shocked with my outbursts of incredulity, I am now going through my 2D work and finding my paintings, which have never been on display anywhere, and might come as a shock to my associates, who all know me as a sculptor, dancer, designer, drawer, etc.
Although I do have a considerable number of intricate drawings that might be of interest, but no means by which to mount them. Drat.
Only a handful of people outside of my family have ever really seen my work in painting, as I mostly keep it hidden.
I usually work in abstract designs with a human or cartoonish figure in the foreground. It takes me ages to figure out what I really want to do with a painting, so I do a little, forget about it for awhile, then come back to it when I have the time or desire to do so.
I recently decided to work abstractly along a theme of shapes that I discovered, but painting angles and lines is the most most most tedious thing ever, drawing them is fine though!
I think I’m really a drawer who uses paint to help illustrate a drawing. If that makes any sense at all!
I’ve been trying out a different concept though recently with giant butcher-paper paintings, only one of which I’ve managed to paint in my apartment. I’ll be seeing what may come of it soon.
This will be mightily interesting!
