Every time...

... when I have a lot on my to do list, all I want to do is paint or draw! Does that ever happen to you?!

work in progress

So, too, this morning and I painted for a while until I really, really had to get going with my list. We are leaving tomorrow morning for a weekend on Amelia Island in Florida, which means I have to get everything ready for our house and pet sitter! And the house is sort of a mess. And I still have some Christmas things to put away. And I have class this afternoon. 

But... I've had had this collaged canvas sitting around since November and it was calling to me. "Silke, come play with me. Everything else can wait!!" So, I quickly created an underpainting for a profile picture. So far so good. I'll probably finish her next week. 

Yesterday, I spent all day on my multi-layered print for my etching class (in color!!) and the proof I printed is beautiful! I'll have to show you when I get a chance to take a picture.

Time to get busy! I hope your day is a wonderful one!!
