It has been my intention to make this blog thing only about the paintings i have in progress, and not about my personal life, but the two are often intertwined. I have had very little studio time lately, largely because i am struggling with finding childcare i can afford. It is very difficult to have a baby, a bartending job, and a fledgling art career. Something has to go, and it looks like jonah plans on staying. Other than that, it's beautiful outside right now, and the last thing i want to do during the best month of the year is hole myself up in a studio on a gorgeous day. I always get very active with the painting in the fall. Summer is a difficult time for me to paint. So not much progress. I will leave you with this image, which is the first day of painting on this very large canvas, 8 feet wide. I know it is only the very first layer, and very little of what you see now will remain in the end, but there are people who would consider this a complete painting. Not me, though.
