Forward Momentum

Through and through, the studio is always in a state of rearranging. I decided to really jump start my creative energy by rallying friends to get together and make artwork, take reference photos, eat good food, laugh, etc.

*IT'S WORKING*

I'm finding myself firing up easier in the mornings when I am excited to get back to work on a piece that I catch myself falling deeper and deeper in love with. Getting a photoshoot set up for later in the day is another example of something to tell the Universe, "Hello, I am here. And I'm ready to use the tools and energy!" She's listening, what message are you trying to get across?

@100DAYSOFPAINTING

Alright alright! Yesterday was the first day of posting for my "100 days challenge" to encourage me to get back into the habit of daily painting, that which is bringing a brush through paint and onto a surface or canvas. The rules are simply that I can't give up on myself, to post regularly online throughout experience, and to be completely open to the process as it unfolds without limiting myself with restrictions but encouraging growth and consistency.  Check back as momentum builds. Day One: down. Let's go, Day Two!

Cropped image of this painting being reworked. The white is being used to block out a figure that needed to be redrawn. You can see another cropped image of a portion of the figure a few posts earlier from this.

@100daysofpainting

Hello again.

IDEAS:

• start instagram account @100daysofpainting 
• paint consecutively for 100 days while posting content daily of new work, inspiration, studio photos, adorable cats in my workspace, you get the idea
• write on the blog here about my experience throughout the experience

Feeling ready to start this project soon, since I've been actively preparing for a while now! There's something so exciting and motivating about the weather changing in Chicago! SUNSHINE! :)

Cheers
