What are you working on?

[laf.art]

Spot on, laf. The sound they make as I move them around reminded me of traditional Indonesian music, Gamelan. Maybe I should make tens of wind chimes.

Yep Gamelan exactly

I've been feeling stagnant again...really slowly working on drawings and sketches for new painting ideas, but not committing to any one in particular to start. They are all landscapes though (a large watercolor, a mixed media, and an oil painting). Another one will be a small oil that is not a landscape, I guess one of my "weird" ones. That one would be the easiest to make, but I don't know what's happening with my energy level this past week. I haven't been able to set up to start any of them. I was at least able to write some. I guess that's something.

That's my check-in.

I'm waiting for my next inspiration or commission, whichever comes first.

I don't know if it is possible to revive oneself out of our ennui, but I like to think it is. I remember reading Graeme Green, the novelist, found Russian roulette lifted him out of despondency. Not that I am suggesting that...

 

[snoball]

Not with my luck, thanks!

 

[Iain]

Just my attempted levity. Every time I go for the "Post reply" button I wince. It's like Russian roulette.

I've got about 5 started but thats it, I'm just basically faffing around waiting for that 'ah' moment to hit, I may be waiting a while. I go back and forth between them, adding a dab here,drawing a line there but nothing is really holding my attention for long. I realised yesterday that one of the paintings which had an area that I wanted to keep I had in fact painted over - well done Lyn

Apparently bungee jumping or skydiving also works. Plus, it's much safer.

 

[laf.art]

Or maybe wing walking would do it

 

[Iain]

Yes, bungee jumping, skydiving, wingwalking, and simply going to the local store.

(Will kill the laughter stone-dead).

Still struggling with this. Don’t know where I am going. I am working really slowly these days.

The link doesn't seem to be working, Jos. I was just about to post my WIP which does actually look like a Dominos pizza. I have now lost my appetite to post. But I can deliver. ....

What link? My photos?
I chose the small version . When I click on either one, it opens for me. Is that what you mean?

 

[Iain]

When you first posted I couldn't see the images. Can now like the predominance of black.

 

[Iain]

Pizza delivery!

Origins of Odd. (Detail)

 

[Desforges]

Looks like the delivery boy stole all the shrimps on the way to your house.
Like the complexity and the textures.

 

[snoball]

Do I actually see pineapple on that pizza?

 

[Iain]

Don't get fruity!

It's a meat feast
cooked in a pandemic.

That's awful.

I really like where this is going Jocelyne. Keep it up. Have no doubts! ❤

I guess I'm going to stop all the drawing/planning and finally start my ideas in paint. I decided to start with a couple of watercolors. The bigger one first (23 x 30 inches), which has this basic house composition:

I want to make the sky big and sort of monochromatic, with a more detailed grassy hill below.

The other will be a 16 x 20-inch with a more complex scene like this:

I want to see how crazy I can get all the wires while still making it make sense, so the wires will probably be in black ink.

That's the plan for now and each will probably take me a year! Ha ha.
