Mar.15.2009

Had not painted for awhile. Spent Saturday visiting with Mom and then at the library drawing in lots of shapes. Today, Sunday, I painted a few odd areas and then painted this fairy playing a violin. She is sitting on top of earth dangling her feet in the ocean. I like the colors.- this little corner makes me smile.

Several people have asked me where I get my ideas- I wanted to include music in this mural and when I sketched her on the earth I hadn't really thought about the ripples of water by her feet- got that idea from one of the ladies at the library. Thanks Diane...that's just what it needed. Then, I was tired of making decisions so I called Tracy and she said "Yes, the figure should have fairy wings, and no, not pointy ears, just normal ones." Thanks Tracy.

So, there you have it. I beg and borrow ideas wherever I can get them.

I've spent toooo many hours at school lately and still don't feel caught up...would rather be painting on this mural. So instead of hours at school I will try to get to the library every night this week and paint a little something.
