Early Summer Thoughts

It's past Mid-May and I haven't updated this blog in a long time (new job, tax time, yada, yada). I am working as a cashier at Target and it's pretty hectic. So much so that I really haven't settled into any routine where I can keep up with my art.

However, I have gotten new supplies, gels, gessoes, and some inspiration for a few new paintings but still in the planning stages as well as finding a few frames in the dumpster. I thought of doing Venice or Italian cityscapes and thought these would be appropriate for summer paintings. Also looking for a source (affordable) for some really good super smooth Arches watercolor paper that's excellent for drawings. What I like about drawings is that you can do them anywhere due to minimal supplies being needed. Not like lugging around an easel and paint and brushes to do landscape paintings. Weather is really nice outdoors lately, so maybe I will get out, at least to photograph some really good scenes.
