Here I am on day 2 of painting subjects’ week starting out with sneezing bouts, hunger grumblings, and a weird sense of lightness.
Food we digest takes time to process through our bodies. It can take days, weeks even for it all to be sorted out. Changes for me. For 3 weeks +/- Greek yogurt is part of my daily menu. The limit foods I have are mainly plant based. I start my day with spring water, eggs or a banana. Weight loss has been light ( 1 lb.), due to taking it easy for a while.
The themed weeks will help me move around more as well as reduce stress. I now see food and activity as partners in healthy living.
Staying with, what I know, selecting common objects as subjects is rather intriguing to me. The spiral notebook has to be included this week.
The light enhancing the texture showing wear in the cardboard is a challenge. Thinking watercolor feels right. Alas, my masking fluid, I think, is so old, it’s probably gummy by now. Pencil is my first thought. Acrylic, though, will help along the abstract story of the curving metal.
Today’s subject: My spiral notebook journal

Interesting choice for a piece of art and yet inspirational at the same time. Only an artist eye could see the possibilities in something we all take for granted.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteIt’s fun to see the possibilities.

Ugh. Old masking fluid -- I can relate. I wish they sold it in smaller bottles. I'm at the lake -- art stuff still in the car till it stops raining. That's probably OK -- there is more than enough to do inside!
ReplyDeleteHappy Lake Jeanie!
DeleteRaining here as well. Think of the fun using rain water to paint with.

Food and activity as partners is an excellent way to phrase it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ivy
DeleteRealizing the importance of exercise on reducing stress to have a healthy gut sure did open my eyes.

Makes a huge difference for sure.
