working, thinking

Thu Sep 17, 2009, 9:10 AM
Sometimes I start thinking about things that are far too big; I contemplate questions that have no answers and struggle with the fact that some things really are unexplainable. I have been thinking about God lately, and what I believe in. It's something that I still haven't quite figured out. I just know that I do believe that someone or something is there to help me through hard times and help me see the beauty in existence. Maybe that something is just some powerful part of the soul or maybe it is an entity. I'll never know, but I am grateful.

I don't have any new art to share today, but I do have some art related news! Shawna and I are working on a the composition for a drawing (that I shall be painting soon), and it could end up being the illustration on the cover of her book! I'm a big fan of her writing and I'm excited to buy a copy of this when it's released. Even if my painting doesn't end up being the cover, this has been a really valuable experience. Working with another person, and trying to achieve something that reflects their work and also my style. Discussing where everything should go and working in stages; changing things and challenging myself.
We've been talking pretty much twice a day, everyday for the past week and I have not worked this hard on a piece since high school haha. I'm really excited to see how this turns out.

So yes, now you all know that I have not just been lazing around and neglecting my arts ;)

I live in my head a lot. I am an artist. I'm learning to be good at this, I've got a long way to go. I can never paint the things I find most beautiful.

Oh, my dear. You made me smile with your comment. And it's OK, I know you're working and running out of time. But also having (perhaps) a lot of time for your thoughts... maybe that's not always good. I was really wondering how your life is going. I can't stand the fact that you're still in that town. I understand how you must be feeling. But anyway. I'm pretty sure there's LOTS of fairy dust somewhere over there, but you can't expect to have it without searching.

I can send you a BIG smile and even bigger hug from here.

Fairy dust is already in your head, just look up.

Love you, Mary.

I'd really LOVE to talk to you, but again... I hate meridians.

My darling... I miss your painting.

And, btw, I loved that video you made "Flying". Lovely. You ARE a great artist. Love your work.

(L) Take care :hug:

Thank you for the big hugs and smiles from afar <3

I'm really happy you liked that video, it is my favorite of all the one's I have done so far. =)

Hope you are well Lizz!

Aww I know! I've been terrible lately. I blame work and family drama =P
I'm actually working on something now though, it's an illustration for a book! I'm not positive yet if it's going to be the final cover, but it shall be up soonish hopefully! I'll probably do some other painting soon as well, just to have something new for everyone =)
