re-inspired

So! It's been too long since I've painted. Far too long. I think tomorrow after work, I'm going to replenish my paint supplies and get going! I feel the need to create something - to be busy with something that has no purpose other than getting out my emotions and just being what it is when I'm finished. So! Look for something new tomorrow! I am determined to get something done and post it. Hm, maybe I'll even do something tonight - afterall, it's cliche, but there -is- no time like the present. Actually, the present is the only moment in time that exists at all . . .

My most recent painting. I started with a magazine collage background and went from there.

In other news, I just made an Etsy account. I can't sell with it yet, as I'm between banks, but hopefully I should be selling by Friday, May 22nd. If you're interested - check it out then, this will definitely be listed, along with others on my flickr account.

I'm super super excited to get started!

I've been rather bad at keeping up this blog, but I'm back, and I'll be consistent, I swear!
This piece stemmed from a lot of bottled-up emotions - I was feeling terribly alone when I created it, and I think I was trying to find some way to express that.
I began with the background - magazine clippings that appealed to me, and then I filled the rest in with acrylics. After that, I found this girl and totally reworked her, and well, this is what I got!
Enjoy :)
