We’ve rounded the last corner. Heading down the home stretch now.

In art, what we want is the certainty
that one spark of original genius shall not be extinguished.
Mary Cassatt

Creativity is more than just being different.
Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy.
What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach.
Making the simple, awesomely simple,
that’s creativity.
Charles Mingus

Creative work is a gift to the world and every being in it.
Don’t cheat us of your contribution.
Give us what you’ve got.
Steven Pressfield

I had so much fun with this texture. I scribbled with an Inktense pencil. I love how it turned out.

I am having so much fun. As you know, I have not been posting art the last few months. Only one or two pieces since the September Gathering. I’ve missed painting!

Even so, I was really stressed about starting again. Not sure of what to paint. Afraid I might flub it. You can see in day 1, how tight and linear I was. I still like it. The others are much more loose.

I am noticing that the parchment (creamy white) looks somewhat dingy here. It is the low resolution of the image. The color is clean, soft and bright in the paintings.

Well, back to work for me. I have to work on my Spoonflower design, due Tuesday at noon. I have some admin. tasks before I can hit the sack. I better get to it!

It would be possible to describe everything scientifically,
but it would make no sense;
it would be without meaning,
as if you described a Beethoven symphony as
a variation of wave pressure.
Albert Einstein
