34 in 30 days ?day 9?

Hey, it's 5:ish in the morning. I can't be expected to remember anything. I know it is the 9th, so day 9.

Well, I think I am done with the bug. At least the worst parts... ugh. I hope so. Either I am getting a new cold, or it's allergy time. My poor nose. Boo!

With that said, I am still on top of my game. That's right, Willis is on it.
I've got my raw and ready to stretch canvas out and my gesso is FRESH! Tight.
I also have 12 little frames I purchased at the thrift store that I a going to fill with my artsy goodness. I am thinking birds for those little frames. They are roughly 2x3 inches. Super cute.

I think the first painting I am going to start is my Spring woman. I am thinking big. A nice pig painting. I want lots of colors and lots of texture.

Today I am going art supply shopping. My living room has been rearranged to accommodate whatever crazy needs I want. Space. Now if I could only get my apartment dog hair free without having to shave my very sweet doggy. Hmmmm..... I guess I will have to be neurotic about vacuuming for a while. Yay.

I am working on a little postcard I am making for www.postcrossing.com. This will be my first contribution and I can't wait to receive my first postcard. I love the idea of sending something handcrafted to someone I will probably never meet on the opposite side of the planet. In a sense, I am delivering peace between strangers from different countries at a time when peace is needed desperately. Love. It's all about unconditional love. I can totes do that. Oh crap. I said 'totes'...

So I had a dream the other night that there was this big, black spider in one of my black SAS shoes. I needed to put my shoes on, but this spider had really webbed the inside of my (i think) right shoe something good. It really wanted me to put my foot in my shoe, webbed and all. I didn't- are you kidding? It was super condensed webbing. Like, filled with cotton type webbing. There were other parts to the dream, but I don't remember anything but the spidery webbed shoe! Ewe! I just got the chills.

So sit tight my 4 followers and randoms that might actually read this. I hope to blow your freaking mind. Just not right now.

*Rough draft for Shoshone Falls painting. I am still finding my niche with landscape. Yikes!

34 in 30 day 1

...and of course I have the flu. Of course I do. Ah welllll. I have been busy preparing my head and home for my personal 34 in 30 project. I hope to complete/start 34 new pieces in 30 days.

Since I am ill today and recovering from a 100+ degree fever, today's blog is going to be brief. I don't have anything new to contribute for today, unless you want to consider my snotty tissues as art. Rorschach tests maybe?

A list of projects I hope to complete in the next 30 days: (taken from my art journal-some are just ideas)


*More Bird paintings to go in my Bird Series
*Commission completed for the lovely Jessica Fillar Orzechowski
*Need to frame/glass Blue Jay peice. Someone want to buy it-yay!
*Spend a day at the beach working on nature art. Think "Rivers and Streams"
*Build cob/brick borders for my garden-which I consider art.
*Make prints of work and sell on Etsy
*Make music samples to also sell on Etsy/Last.fm under ASP(asmallsimpleplan)

So that's enough for now. I need to be back in bed.

Happy April Fool's yo. Of COURSE I would be sick on my first day of 34 in 30.
However, I might come up with something artistic while being completely out of it from my fever. FEVER.
