Site Seer, oil on Ampersand gessobord, 5x7 inches
I was lamenting to my son the other day that I feel like my momentum has been declining. I'm not sure if it's lack of energy because of putting more hours in at work (probably) or the lack of daylight (definitely). Anyway, I definitely have been feeling like a (concrete) block has descended upon me. My son gave me some simple but helpful advice...change up on what you are painting...grab some fruit, paint a random still life, etc. I did shift focus and paint a scene of something that is near and dear to my heart, spending time in a museum, taking it all in, slowing down, calming your brain. I believe this is the first interior I have posted.
Luckily for my mental state, I will be traveling to Chicago at the end of the month to visit the School of the Art Institute with my two teen artists, and I will schedule time to see my favorite Chagall and Van Gogh's bedroom. Food for the soul.
