violin I


violin I

i am starting to feel the urge to paint. acrylic, i mean.
i wish i had more space. though sometimes i put old towels on the bed and paint on there. (it is a full.) it must be lovely to have a big room. but one can't use that as an excuse not to do things. it's acrylic so it needs minimal ventilation, unlike oils which really do have more specific requirements in terms of working space. and of course i could use more energy. and light, i could use light. maybe i should go to ghost ranch. i am sure the light there is lovely. i have another violin to paint. this picture is my 1st one. i have been putting off the sanding. it's silly i dread it but i got a pinched nerve last time i did much sanding. i probably sanded the last one more than i needed to.

picture: painted 3/4 size violin.
acrylics and ink

How fun it will be to sand the violin...To remove the layers of age...and begin anew! Can't wait to see what you do with this one!

Hope you are feeling better too! I have been going through some tremendous pain over the past week. Possibly shingles. Many tests at the hospital...The good thing is that my Acupuncture treatments seem to be helping most of all!!!

Happy sanding!

i had shingles! it was after another illness when my immune system was now.. maybe yours is shingles because of that. i hope you feel better and i am glad the acupuncture is helping! i know how much shingles hurts!!
