Still Goin

Whew.
I've been working on my art all day and night...did another resin pour this morning...then painting....and the last few hours were spent doing careful paint marker work...really slow going.
But I AM really happy with how they're turning out. It's so refreshing to finally see what's been swimming around in your mind slowly come into visible/tangible form...
I think I'm really starting to love them.
Sure, I'm a bit nervous how they'll be received, because yet again, I'm going further into quirky realms...and it seems everyone gets all confused when my work changes from whatever they've seen last. But I can't help that. This is where I am now. I move forward, I meander. These are the things I'm thinking about, inspired by, processing....and as an artist I need to express that. The pieces are deeply satisfying to me.I really feel I'm hitting it on the head. Whether or not others 'get it' right now can't enter into my process.
SO, with that said to myself and my livejournal, I think it may be time for bed.

Your Art

I know this feeling, though it's been a while since I felt it - at least in creating. It has applied more to my development and sorting out of my 'life'.

There is always the tension, I think, between wanting to be comprehended and following one's own creative processes. I've found that doing the latter is more rewarding and truer to self. It just takes time for others to catch up.

I finally feel 'so be it, people resist change, WE resist change - but change is what Art/Vision is all about. Picasso was developing to the day he died.

Glad you're excited and happy.

That is an exciting space to be in, confidence in your ideas!

But make sure you're taking care of your person while doing your art! Sleep is your friend :)

Oh to have such direction and drive. I work on things day and night but it's about 10 different things and that feels unfocused. It's how I've been post high school but I don't like it. I'm just not interested on one direction enough to only do one thing. Right now I'm: making paper mache heads, making a paper mache mermaid, working on my boy's album art and interactive CD, spinning yarn randomly, crocheting a summer hat, redoing a storefront and I THINK that's it. ACK! I REALLY envy the focused mind. I can't wait to see more of your work!
