Stupid brain tricks.

Note to self 2398.43:

Having difficulty with gesture when you haven't done figure work in at least two years now != suck at art, can't do this, and should have gone into something more in line with my abilities, like actuarial science.   You're out of practice, is all. 

Do - Grab the newsprint, make several dozen frightfully bad drawings. 
Pester avahasnoalias  for that figure drawing group's information and get to working from models again. 
Sketch unsuspecting sleeping friends and loved ones. 

EDIT:  Oh hey, did I lend Art and Fear  to one of you lovelies, or have I lost it and need to reorder it (heck, maybe I'll order a case of them and hand them out)?

Don't -
Freak out and have an artistic crisis.  They don't accomplish anything.  Well, maybe they boost the metabolism, but so what?

Also do - Go buy cat litter, ya dolt.  No, now.  Okay, get gas first.

Random studio pic, with painting that I'm getting back to after it languished for a long time on the wall.

As I was decorating my FS envelope just now, I was thinking of you, envying your permission to play with art anytime you want. I'm okay on some stuff, other stuff I wish I had more time to practice.

About half the envelope turned out the way I kinda wanted it, the rest of it I did stuff on that I'd like to fix, but hey, the postage stamps are already on there so I'm just gonna leave it as is. I'm sure the post office will just think it's weird. *shrug* Which is probably the point of the exercise, come to think of it. :)
