Sometimes I'll use small canvas panels as palettes in case the way the paints are laid out begins to go somewhere and develop into a painting.
As I sat down to work I thought about my Grandma, when introducing me to people she'd say"Yes, she's a Jack of all trades and master of none". It used to bum me out but I have to admit the old gal was right. I've been so obsessed with painting ever since I was a kid that I never really learned how to do anything.
Believe it or not, I'm OK with that. It means that I keep trying things whether I succeed or not and every day is an opportunity to surprise someone...including myself.
I picked up a brush when I went back to that painting, I'm not sure if it's going anywhere yet but I'm enjoying it. I think I'll go all Jackson Pollack on it next. I'll have to work out in the yard so it should amuse the wildlife and the neighbors...
Anyone up for a little "drive by art"?
