She's done!

5/20/2013

I am fast learning about consistency in social media... Having a blog, a FB page, an etsy shop all take time and attention. If I don't feed said outlets news of my creative adventures,
it feels like I virtually disappear
... and I am adventuring alone.

Alone = Comfortable
*and always has*

As I have admitted in earlier posts, being vulnerable and 'exposed' is NOT my cup of tea. I read Brene Brown and sigh with admiration. Oh, the courage! And then I close and lock the door to my studio to create in peaceful isolation and comfort.

So I know that we teach what we ourselves need to learn, and I continue to learn that the journey has twists and turns, peaks and valleys, swampy bits and freezing snow. And then I gather myself, and resurface
to thaw in your presence,
my friends and fellow creatives.

I offer you a sampling of what's been keeping me sane in the studio!

If you care to open up to me and share a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

I love her Consu! I study her face and am surprised by every part of her, you did a wonderful job! What mediums did you use?

Thanks, Laura!! It's all kinds of things: mostly acrylic paints and mediums and then colored pencils, and water-soluble crayons for definition and shading. She sat unfinished --with another half dozen paintings that are still on that pile- for a while... Do you also struggle mightily to complete projects???

That blue is... it just is.
You posted that video somewhere a few days ago, about "producing". Well, the thing is, I think that many eyes are better than two. Just because. And while pressure should only partly be a good thing to produce, I like the idea that you allow us to take. If you keep it all in the secret alcove of your studio, then we can't take. And it's like you're not giving. And it's not you. And I'm random, I know.

Wow Consu, what a presence she has. I could just look and look at her. She makes me think of a woman washing clothes or dishes with a rag on her head...you know, like they used to do...was that in the 40s?...and then all the beautiful creativity that is brewing and fluttering in her as she does these supposedly mundane tasks. I love her! and so appreciate your very honest sharing...thank you!

Thanks Katje!
What a cool series of images she conjured up for you!! Thanks for sharing that, I can totally see your story play out with her as the protagonist. Fun! xo
