January 25th: photos

Today I got up early for a meeting and ate breakfast while the sun rose.

I had hoped that today would be the day that i started making paintings i liked again, that maybe i could find a new groove,  get out of my head a little bit.  And after some time in the studio, that’s exactly what happened.

Here are the reasons why today was awesome.

exhibit A:  since we dyed her hair, Mary Ellen looks like a super sexy Archie.

va voom.

exhibit B: Mary Ellen does not like to be told that she resembles Archie.

exhibit C:  the studio flowers have begun to bloom.

exhibit D: Knox took me to Sunspot for lunch.  No photos of that, but i ate the goat cheese quesadilla, which I love, and sweet potato chips.

exhibit E: (it just gets better and better!!) I made a paintbrush out of some of my old dreadlocks.

which paints strange double lines that make me feel excited about brushes again.

exhibit F:  Daniel came to the studio and made fun of me, documented a bit of my new process, etc.  This bit also involved laughing like a crazy person because I was enjoying myself so much..  which is much better than making paintings that stress me out.

i like to call it Gondolier Painting.

 

what’s with today, today?!
