    “Sophie”
    Aceo, Faber-Castell colored pencil on Bristol Smooth

    This piece is for Elsie. Her sweet Irish Setter Sophie loves attention and loves to tell you when anything is happening. I took this photo in her kitchen, and you may have noticed that I like the perspective of dogs with noses up front! Silly. It makes me smile! Last week, I drew a graphite illustration from the same picture, but I took some liberties with it.

    Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils are nice to work with. Dick Blick has some great pricing on them, too. I bought mine at Sam Flax and paid a bit more, unfortunately, although my set is not yet complete! I think I’ll finish it off at Blick.

    The Georgia Etsy Street Team will be having it’s annual “Peachy Deals” Summer Sale June 22nd-30th!  Stock up on fun crafts and art from people, well, like me, and get great promotions and discounts along the way!  Search for Peachy Deals and Gaetsyteam on Etsy.com!

    In studio all week. Painting in Progress…

    For quite some time, 2 years, actually, I have been kept away from any sense of normalcy when it comes to a workday in my studio. My desire to learn more about this internet/blogging/social networking/online selling world of ours has made, well, an addict outta me. It was innocent at first. I thought, “well, I’ll just learn this stuff real quick like so I can do my own marketing!” Did I mention that was 2 years ago?

    Monday, I decided to alter this freakish course of action because the perceived outcome wasn’t lookin’ good for my art career. I have no inventory!

    So, I intervened on my own behalf, and legislated a self-imposed computer ban in my studio. I had to add (to myself) that I also have to BE in my studio (or it wont work). he he

    Today was day two and I have made a lot of progress. I even wrote in my journal 3 mornings in a row! I know, unbelievable.

    I told Eric I needed a little push toward that manifest destiny thing. I work on it constantly by saying aloud all the weaknesses I’m dealing with so that he can regurgitate them back to me at strategic moments. It’s my own way of holding myself accountable.

    I asked him for help and he gave it to me!

    He said, “Ok, well, first of all, no computer during the day. You can get online at night while you’re hanging on the couch with me! Pretend your boss is there and you can’t surf!

    The other thing: Stop making lists and plans. Just paint. You need to just paint without worrying about all that other stuff for a while.

    You are doing what they do in the corporate world…lists and schedules and planning, it’s like Dilbert, for crying out loud! Nothing gets done this way at the office either! That’s why they wrote a cartoon about it. Just allow yourself to let loose and be creative. Let yourself see some progress that makes you feel good. This is your goal, after all. You are having anxiety about it, but once you start to see progress, this will pass.”

    I was listening this time.

    Well, the reward the past 2 days has been real progress on a painting and a nice feeling of satisfaction after focusing for a change on what I really want to do.
    He is really smart.
