I figured hump day news would be all about the art that got done and didn't. ((sigh)) I did finish a piece that went right into the recycle bin. Why? Well there are many reasons for it. The top being it wasn't the best I could have done. It was a bit juvenile and I knew it, even when I was creating it. The composition was not the best, I was experimenting on the other mediums. It just overall wasn't good. It had some pretty amazing parts to it, but the amazing didn't override the bad stuff, so in the recycle bin of no return it went. I'm okay with it. I was arting...that was the main thing. It was sparking the deep dark side of my noggin' for ideas. I wasn't pushing myself as hard as I could have been and should have been. Thankfully there are quite a few "rainy day" pieces in my safety net. Granted, they are Abstract and while I have a new Abstract piece as well, I'm moving away from that genre of art. Not that I don't love it, but as I've said before it just doesn't give me the feels. Maybe if I did it in the traditional format? Dunno, not really going to find out. I don't have the space for that kind of studio. I can do Graphic Design, Illustrations, Character Design in my studio...that it can accommodate, but using paints, not so much, I would like our security deposit back when we do move.
The arty art news continues....I am overthinking stuff and it is showing. See above. That was part of the problem, as well. The stupid plague (more on that in a bit) isn't helping. I'm just glad I'm arting. Even if all of you never see it. Even the failures are a lesson, sometimes in futility but lessons they are. Not sure what will happen today. I do plan on arting. Trying to get the noggin' to not think. I know the trending vs. doing what I want is a big one. I'm still siding on doing what I want. Why you may ask? I've been to that rodeo and it leaves me stressed out, frustrated and a lot of times leads to the dreaded block. Arting for me is about doing what you love because you love it, not chasing after the latest trend or trying to get new minions...you all have come and stayed with me through the changes, and there has been quite a bit. I do really appreciate the OG minions as well as the brand new minions. You all do mean the world to me and you are a huge reason why I do the arting and the blogging. Still no vlogging...I have yet to figure out how to be photogenic.
Okay enough of the mushy mush of mushiness. The plague continues...although the peanut gallery and I are improving. This pesky cough is driving me nuts. If the cough was gone, I'd be fine. I am going to try some light cardio today. I have a theory of sorts...I hear those groans...not ALL my theories are bad...dammit! I digress, the day we were out, I wasn't coughing much. A bit here and there...I was moving...constantly on the move. I think I may need to start moving around here. I am sure there are allergens around here that are not helping, but a little cardio, listening to my body, naturally, may help. I need to get back to working out...never realize how much benefits you get until you can't. Granted, the weather is not on my side with all it's sticky, goopiness. First it was freezing now it's going to feel like July. What? Not complaining, but I am and really always have been on the global warming is real. I won't get into conspiracy theories...nope. I will say I think we are adding insult to injury to a cycle that the Earth goes through. Not all our fault, but we certainly aren't helping.
On the last of the more...we are still trying to figure out when to have the game session. I would love this Sunday, buuuut....if peanut gallery and I are still fighting this plague, which we are, I don't think it's a wise idea. It really sucks that we haven't had consistency in the sessions. Life and plagues happen. Being the germ-a-phobe that I am, I don't want any of my gamers to get what we have. I don't know if I'll have the energy to do an uber disinfect clean...and from what I was told from our amazing doctor, if there's a cough, there's contagiousness. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Also means, the Dad day is postponed AGAIN....I miss our day. Not that we do anything super exciting but it's really awesome to just hang out with my Dad. I miss him, despite talking to him on the phone almost everyday. Not the same.
Anyways, minions, I think I've probably given you some pretty good eye strain, never my intent, and I could go on...I really could. I won't. It's just frivolous, want to's but can't, yet stuff. So on that note, I'm really not sure if there will be a Friday blog. Depends on if there's news...or anything actually exciting. If I went by just excitement this blog would be bi-annual. On that note, I hope you all have a fantastic week and the weekend is awesomesauce, just in case I don't blog on the Friday. Until then...I bid you a plague-free adieu!
