Stuff

So I’ve been working bit by bit at getting rid of stuff in the studio. I figure with my ADD (really I officially have it, I’m not just saying that as an excuse!) I need to tackle this in small half hour to hour segments to keep me going with this thing. Also, while I’m on the treadmill, I watch those cleaning out shows! You know the ones: they come in to an extremely junk filled home and make them decide what they are going to keep and what they are going to get rid of. Then “Boom”! An hour later, they have a completely redecorated home, junk free!! Now that’s Motivation!

So far it’s working. I’ve made some headway. I’ve actually thrown stuff away that I realize I am NOT going to make art with any time in the next zillion years.

Also Himself has been a big help. Yesterday he took some mdf that my son had given me and put tops on two cabinets that needed them. Now I have storage and more counter space! the cabinets are a set of drawers and a lazy susan corner thingy from our old kitchen. They seemed too good to throw away. I’m not in the mood for painting them… that will have to be later. But I was thinking of using chalkboard paint on the round one…wouldn’t that be fun?

I did a mixed media yesterday of how I sorta feel about all this stuff lately.

It’s done in mostly pan pastels: red,blue,yellow,black and white. I also used some watercolor crayons,color pencils, and pencil. This was loads of fun to do.

And NO that is NOT supposed to look like me!

The paper is sitting curved on the easel, by the way, it isn’t cut that way.

Off to do STUFF!!

Ever onwards my less stuffy friends!
