busy, busy, busy!

Since my last post I have been rushing to get my guest house re-painted (really re-modeled!) and turn it into my art studio...finally, this week I finished! After hours and hours of filling holes, gaps, killing hundreds of spiders (sorry!) I am finally moved in. It's so nice to have my own space to paint, and I know my husband appreciates the fact that my work space is no longer the kitchen bench.

Yesterday I started on the first of a series of paintings for an exhibition at Soul Gallery that is from the 7th of May. I have been procrastinating (SO unlike me) and I finally just made myself start. That is always the hardest part. Once I get started, there's no stopping me. That is... unless I am absolutely disgusted with my work... which is what has happened now. For some reason, there is nothing about this painting I like... I liked it to start out with- the background had so many layers of paint and edges, but so far the more I put paint on it the less I like it, and I am so close to the point of painting over it and starting over... Anyways, I will post my progress on this specific piece, and if anyone has some critique for me that would be greatly appreciated! I will keep posting my progress as I finish this one (hopefully!) so I can start on the many new blank canvases waiting for me...
