Snow and lots of painting

We got hit with MORE SNOW again over the weekend. Totally crazy. Places like Dulles, and D.C. got slammed with snow. Up to 32" in some points. I can hardly believe it. Here in Cville, we "only" got about 16". Because I was snowed in, I had lots of free time. I wish I could sleep with my art journal, I love it so much :)

I don't have many words to say, so I shall just post pictures.

 


 


In the middle of shoveling out my car. I never want to shovel again!
 

 Now, onto painting

First Snow!!!




The first snow is so beautiful, isn't it? I threw on sweatpants and a sweatshirt, wrapped my camera in a plastic bag and braved the slippery roads. I am glad I did it, even for one gorgeous picture.

I seem to get so stuck on doing actual "paintings" for other people. When I am just playing in my journal, I am not worried about how it turns out nearly as much. I have a painting that has been sitting unfinished for months now for a friend, and a painting (that my cat spilled water all over this morning!) that I need to finish for my mom by Christmas that is also stuck. I don't like what comes out. Is it because I need to have a clear idea of what will the final product be, and I can't see that? I also think I have these color schemes in mind, but they don't mesh. I don't know, but it is frustrating. Ideas? Tips?

I had my work holiday party last night...and I wanted to be "Most Festive", so I put together and incredible ugly christmas outfit. Here are a couple pictures of me decorating purple spandex.
