I've been thinking a lot lately about paints and painting, and about bright, Mediterranean colors. Maybe that is the inspiration for this post. Maybe it's the chilly weather here, which is making me long for dry, hot days and bright light. Or, maybe it's that I miss doing oil painting more than anything right now.
Anyway, this painting which I featured in a new article in the Artistic Endeavors series over on the Etsy Storque has a style I just love. Someone bring back the days when people sat in coffeehouses and drew their friends, instead of zooming in and out for a latte in the artificial flavor-of-the-month.
Below, some items which remind me of the artistic life. A dress in Cadmium Yellow Light, Bangles in pigment-y bright enamels, A go-anywhere bag that gets better as it gets older, The best hand soap in the world (also great for cleaning brushes)...and classic sandals that would go well with a summer hiatus in Europe. I can only afford the hand soap. But hey, it's a start, and really, I'd be happy with that.
