If I had piles and piles of cash, some charities would be very happy and I would travel often and art goodies would arrive daily on my doorstep. Thinking about it makes me giddy. I would also hire an art trainer - like a fitness trainer, only they'd make me actually USE the paints gathering dust in the studio.
Old and new stuff just waiting around for the artist to get inspired... |

I discovered yesterday that my 1980's gouache paint is still usable. What!?! That's fantastic! I'm signing up for an online class that lists gouache as one of the possible tools. I immediately went into I-need-that mode. It then occurred to me there were a few tubes in my old pale green tackle box. I pulled it out of the studio/guest room closet and managed to unscrew all of the lids. (Which wasn't easy. I actually have a blister on my thumb from the effort.) Three are dry as dust, but the other five are still good. Woot!
In unrelated news:
I'm cataloged! I received an email from The Sketchbook Project that my sketchbook has been cataloged into the Brooklyn Art Library. How cool is that? It's one of many thousands, but still...coolness. I'm excited to see how my goofy little illustrations look digitized.
In additionally unrelated news:
Since returning to my art, I've been upcycling lots of bags and jars and such. My husband was about to toss a big zip-type plastic bag this morning, but asked me first "Do you need this bag for art stuff maybe?" Not monumental by any means, but it was a first time question that just seems, I don't know, it just made me smile.
