It is rare that I have the right sort of energy to just play and not be doing something useful, which is annoying. Didn't art school teach me anything? Anyway, yesterday I felt like playing. I was feeling boundlessly creative and optimistc which I tried to take advantage of because I knew it would not last. This morning I had a long bath and read my book instead of being useful. I feel sluggish and spaced out, probably due to the drop in temperature to a cozy -11C. That's me in Goderich this summer.
I really love the ads I get in my email from
Anthropologie that use this technique with watercolor washes and handwriting over photos, so I tried it myself. I liked it. This snow one is my desktop for now.
I may as well go crazy and show you all the ones I did. There was also this one.
And this one, which is kind of nice and reminds me of the stuff I used to like in high school- messy, crazy playing in the art room at lunch. Except this time it is not messy as it is all digital, which back then I would have really dissaproved of! I guess according to my high school self, I have sold out, but I would not want to be anyone else! Who can ever live up to old high school standards anyway?
