Today was all about searching through my photos for new compositions. I was bummed to find that the boxes of photo reference material, stored away for who knows how long, has begun to lose color. Aaaawwwww, pooh. Oh well, I've decided to see if I can challenge myself to pick a random photo from a box, choose a color pallette (warm or cool), maybe play with some of the gorgeous new Daniel Smith watercolors I got recently, and find something in the poor, sad, faded photo that I can get excited about. This is going to be the material for my "almost daily" paintings. Wish me luck.
Did you enjoy the Academy Awards last night? I managed to stay awake through the whole thing! I was so proud for Sandra Bullock. Yeah!
See you tomorrow. (Oh, you may have noticed that there are still no pictures here.) Soon.
