I was inspired by the idea of a chrysalis which I am going to experiment with in my work. I feel like I have been in this chrysalis all wrapped up and for the first time I am able to start peeling away the layers to see what has been formed inside. I found this painting entitled, "chrysalis" done by an artist named, Rose Frantzen, and I think she is amazing! Tonight I was painting on linen with coffee and adding a layer of watercolor pencil ontop. I was happy with how it turned out so far. Tomorrow I am going to add some color because it is neutral right now. I have started to notice a trend in my work, and that is it is usually mostly neutral with color added as a secondary part. I don't know why it keeps working out that way. I think that is why every artist is different in their own way, because we have our own natural direction that our work takes us. I felt alive in my studio today. It is great to finally get started. Getting started is the hardest part. I am working on getting a handful of pieces to put in my friend's salon/gallery in November. I have a goal that has to be reached soon so I must keep working towards it!!
