First thanks to the gals who made the comments on the new look of this blog, I know that I am going in the right direction now. Since Blogger have bought out the new stand alone pages it seems to have become like a mini website which I think is great, as I spend most of my time here anyways, but I am still editing and making changes and will add in a few new pages as I go along.
Since the beginning of 2010 I found myself being distracted and pulled away from my main love CPs and Drawing, which in a roundabout way is good because I went off and experimented with different things, found a new love stone painting, and had a sort of busmans holiday! The downside to that is I got overwhelmed and very moody for want of a better word, and found it hard to sit down and complete any one thing, my mind and feelings all over the place. Anyway things came to a head last week, and on a heated discussion with hubby, I sort of exploded with a rush of tears,frustration and emotion and gosh it felt good lol ! To cut a long story short I was trying to spread myself too thin and not spending the time I have to do what I do best and love, which is drawing in coloured pencils. Don't get me wrong I love stone painting but it was taking over my life and my work space, and I just cant have that. So for the time being paints and stones are put away and my desk has returned to its normal look with pencils/paper/sketchbooks/pens/putty rubbers etc which to me is how it should be. I will still do stone painting but not to this degree again.
I also want to do more Wip here on my blog as I feel that this has been neglected as well, the title says it all Art With A Pencil, and I still have much more that I want to share with you all, so without much more ado I am going to start a new WIP of an Italian Bracco called Lola. I took this photo last year at one of my dog shows that I went to, and originally was on the hard drive that I lost earlier on this year, but having emailed this photo to her owner it was kept on the server so I was able to access it. It is not the best pic in the world as she was not so keen on the camera, but it is still usable.
I recognize this..... But it is nice to do and try new things. But good to realize to what is important and good for you. Life is always about searching for balance:)
ReplyDeleteHappy creating!
have a nice day!
I know exactly how you feel! Not knowing what you really want to be focusing on, but knowing that whatever you've BEEN doing just isn't feeling right... Does that make sense? Anyway, I hope you're feeling like you're on the right track now! If it makes you happy, then it's right!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the dog piece... Love the new website!
Adorable face and great colors - should be fun for you to draw :)
ReplyDeleteI know excactly what you mean by jumping around in different medias. I still do it, but try to be more organized, so not to get too frustrated. Your decision is great as it works for you. Cp is a lovely media :)
Hi Vic, I completely understand what you have been going through. For me it is Art and Jewelry. It feels like being torn into two directions. Unfortunately there is just not enough time to do it all, and do it well. It's good that you have made your decision and re-focused your attention...I am not there yet...it is just to hard to let things go that you love to do. :o)
