Just Do It – Why is that so Hard to Remember?

2010, combined techniques, mixed media printmaking / /

Today I worked at the farm selling veggies and picking beans. It is a wonderful place to be with big skies and good dirt. And the marketing for the ArtSpace http://artspaceatbentleylibrary.blogspot.com/ ate up a bunch of my time too, and I was not very focused or motivated to paint, draw or print. But I worked on another couple of “She Moved” dog drawings/paintings and was pleased that I went through the process. The one above I started with black paint blocking in the dark areas and the She Moved. So I started again and then She moved so I started blocking in the light areas and then the whole thing was very wet so I started writing thoughts, feelings, questions, reactions.

Kip my dog faithfully sleeps while I toil. do I need to toil? Could I just have fun? What if I make a mistake? do it wrong? Lose? Not Good enough? Oh the crap that goes through my head. I best not hold on to that stuff. Today I have been working on promoting the ArtSpace @ Bentley Library. Oh how the time slips away. http://artspaceatbentleylibrary.blogspot.com/ I am going to take a break from the computer and play with some paint and charcoal. http://www.linda-germain.com/

“She Moves 1”, my subject my dog lounging on the couch. Recently, I have been printing and working small with the gelatin plates. So now I am loosening up and getting ready for the Tim Hawkesworth workshop next weekend. I am searching for my subject matter, my voice, my focus. And I am going to have fun finding it. http://www.linda-germain.com/

Tim Hawkesworth to Teach @ RedBrick

2010, combined techniques / /

September 12,13, & 14 Tim Hawkesworth will be teaching at RedBrick Studios in Beverly. The goal of the workshop is to develop your personal connection to drawing and expand your understanding of art, to work in a roomy, visually rich environment using materials that excite you. In this charged, supportive atmosphere Tim Hawkesworth will work with you one on one.
The workshop will encourage you to push the limits of your art and to take risks. Often a breakthrough will occur. Participants see drawing with new eyes and leave with a feeling of excitement for the possibilities opening up in their work.
