Day Forty-Three - Then the Fog Cleared

It was raining this morning when I woke and went to work and tried to work (I work for a roofer) and then sometime around noon it started to clear, and clear some more and some more. Finally!!

These pictures are iPhone captured. I have yet to really look through the ones from mt camera. I have seen enough to know that I am so very happy! I am finally feeling the pressure ease.

This picture of city hall was taken out my window as I waited at the light. It helps to make the right exits so you do not travel the long way round. However, this picture makes up for the detour. 

I even managed to grow some more branches on my tree today. 

It looks like we are out of the fog here in Pacifica, so tomorrow once again I will venture out to a new place and let thing happen as they may! 

Day Forty-One - Seeing Things

I am beginning to see thing in silhouettes, everywhere I go, its quite fun. I just wish sometimes all that I saw would actually be. 

I had intended on being out all morning with my camera, the fog had other plans. I did manage to take some pictures that I think will become the last of my paintings or collages, but we shall see. I say that a lot, we shall see, but it's true.  Each day I have my plan, each day it gets changed, and whether or not it is for the best,  it happens. I got home and went straight back to the art table. I made a new raven for a collage, the other was just too small.

I made a new collage background for an angel, the other ones I had just didn't fit right for her.

I also finished three more paintings, they just needed those finishing touches. It was so nice to see the rich black silhouette really pop on the panel. 

And I began to paint the panels for my photographs. So all in all it was a productive day. And as you can tell by this final picture, things are a little blurred. Well, sometimes by then end of the day, it is the clearest you can see. 

Tomorrow, I have a few ideas of what I would like to do mixed with some socializing! SO that always makes for a fun day!! 

Day Thirty-Six - An Official Count

11 done completely!

18 almost there.

And more fog...

It seems each day I plan to go out with camera in hand, this happens. Perhaps, I needed this pause and once again the chance to regroup. I was able to really to look at each piece and see what was needed, if anything, and finish some.  I have a good plan of what to do this week to get those 18 competed. 

The end is so close, it's just within reach. It is hard to explain the stress, the excitement, and the unanswered questions you give yourself, but I know it is all worth it.  At the end, I will hang 50 pieces of art, each one representing me in one form or another.  When that fifth piece is placed on the wall, I will look back through these blogs and this process and just smile at my accomplishment.

Day Thirty - A Break

So, it wasn't a real break, I did do a little cutting paper and touch up to a painting that I think will need to be started again. I did do something to get things moving along and ready for this upcoming weekend. I believe I will be locking myself away again.

I did go and see one of the BEST movies I have seen this year. I am a total movie goer. I could go daily, if that was even possible. I had been waiting a few months to see this movie before it was even called Begin Again, when it was called Can A Song Save Your Life? I prefer the former title, because a song can save your life and that is what this entire movie it is about. It's funny, heart warming and makes you believe in the goodness of people, no matter how down on life they may be and it is completely due to the music.  The music that shapes your day, helps you heal and leads you where you want to go, music really has such an impact on your life. This is one of those movies that you watch until the last line of the credits roll. 

Day Twenty - And Then There was Today

So, all the plans I thought I had yesterday, just weren't there today. I got up did a really nice run and was ready to get things done. Then I started to finish up my AGP piece. This was the moment that changed the entire day. I literally had to start the painting all over again and I even finished it with only a few little touches tomorrow. 

I am totally fine with not working on 50/50 today. I am, however, always working on things in my head. I have many plans that will happen soon. I am very much looking forward to this long weekend coming up. I plan on just locking myself in my art room and working away!
