Luminous Berries and Art Life Updates

Luminous Berry
5 x 5 watercolor on paper

For the last several months painting has constantly been on my mind. I dream up ideas for future paintings, my hands itch to hold a brush, and I try to figure out how to get 26 hours out of each day, or require less than 5 hours of sleep at night, so I can get more painting time.

Since the new year came and the holidays are gone for another year (YASSS) I made a promise to myself that I would paint every day. If only for 15 minutes. Well. . . . I haven't kept that promise. Some days I just can't make it to paint. Which IS frustrating. BUT on the positive side I have painted more this month than I did the last six months combined. So I think I'm onto something here.

This painting is the first watercolor daily painting (never mind that it took me about 6 days to finish instead of 1) I've finished in. . . 3 years I think. And I have found a lot of satisfaction in that.

I'm excited to keep on painting, I have SO many ideas sketched out! We'll see how well I do at keeping this blog updated too.

Thanks for following along with my artwork!

Hugs,
Crystal

  7. Shortage of time is why it's taken me 4 days to comment now and why I painted nothing at all in the first 9 months of 2016 and then 9 paintings in the last 3 months. Nevertheless, your glowing berry was well worth waiting for - love it!

  8. Oh my! I can't believe it, I had no idea you were blogging again! This is wonderful because I have really missed it sinse you stopped! I only came here because I have just moved my own blog from Blogger to Weebly and I decided it was time for a freshen up, a new start and so a new blog. I thought I'd visit some of the blogs I most enjoyed to get some ideas and of course you were one of them... And I have found that you are painting and posting again! I'm so thrilled and your work is as exquisite as it ever was! Welcome back!!
