Art night

[avad]

MMMMM not a bad night...I'm at the kitchen table working on art (new 12" square pieces) with my Polly Pockets all around for inspiration and my paint markers in all colors....paint/drawing the first layer of many layer pieces.
Strange stuff..different than how I'm used to working...less painterly, more graphic,illustrative. I feel like I'm back in grade school making drawings...and it's quite refreshing. Harder in some ways, because I have to control the image...but I'm trying to not get toooooo anal and let it be just a bit childish/adolescent. The colors are caannnndy.
CD player nearby..thermos of Bustelo coffee with vanilla caramel creamer....and the new(er) laptop right on the table too so I can take frequent computer breaks!(this is new and fun) (also using it for Google image search for more variations on a dollhouse room theme).
Wonder how long I'll stay up. it's midnight now and I'm wide awake and the music's pumpin.;)

It sounds like a wonderful headspace. I'm feeling strongly inclined to start working on some new drawings. It looks like I'm going to start attending a few life drawing sessions with a friend. I'm excited about that: haven't drawn from a model in 17 years!
