I had one of those moments yesterday after painting all day. I wanted to scrap my Amelie flash, and start over, but instead I put my brushes down, and put the painting away and let it sit over night.
I came to work, not wanting to paint, so I kept myself occupied with some fabric and embroidery for a few hours, till I finally felt ready to take a look. To my surprise I liked my painting better today than yesterday, and decided to finish. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, the artichoke is my favorite :)
I've been working on an off on some other small pieces as well, I was gonna scrap all these, but now that I haven't looked at them for a few days I'm thinking they might be OK. Maybe I am just being too hard on myself? Who knows.
I love being at work, and being around the girls, and guys there all day, it's so incredibly inspiring, and refreshing! I do however miss doing other crafts. I have a sock to knit, yes, just one. I have some prints to make, not paint, but gocco. And I have some pictures to scrapbook, albums maybe.
It's been raining non stop all day, but other than being cold and wet, the rain does some amazing things, like, make everything incredibly green and pretty.
I noticed these while walking the dogs this morning, and ran back inside and grabbed my camera <3
Love!
The pageant is only a week away! I have some serious practicing to do for my talent, hah! Other than that I am pretty happy, and excited!
I hope you all had a wonderful week, and that you'll have lots of lovely sunshine this weekend!
xo.

i love your amelie painting! that movie is amazing!
i agree with stopping with the work and letting it sit overnight... i get too worked up on a detail and start obsessing about it... 9 times out of 10, i end up finishing my work.
good luck at the pageant!
I love them all. You are being too hard on yourself. I am too so I know how it is but trust me all the paintings are amazing! The skull on top of the books is my favorite.
What a highlight,
i love the dwarf in paris polaroid the most.abd the artichoke is amazing too. If i can pick some at the market today, they´ll be for dinner.

what is your talent!?!
I love that lock and key painting!!
Best Flash Idea!
That artichoke has stolen my heart! One of the best vegetables by far :) I love your work and your posts, very inspiring!
Yes, you are being too hard on yourself! These are sick.
I do the same thing with mine. I think they suck one night, the next day, not so much.
I think it helps to walk away. Lately I've been forcing myself to just do black spitshading one night, then color the next. It helps break up the painting into a process instead of a rush job, for me anyway. Keep posting them!
Glad you didn't scrap the Amelie stuff. It's really good :)
I love the film Amelie! It's awesome!
I love the bit where she guides the blind man to the metro station
ooooh, love those bleeding hearts! (the flowers in the last photo) <3
LOVE <3 your drawings!
Youre totally making me want to get
a tattoo!
:)
the flowers are 'bleeding hearts'.... i have seen them where they are all white also which i love, but regardless the colour they are a wonderful flower. the lock and key art is lovely.
