In August I began a graduate program in Art Therapy at Eastern Virginia Medical School.
I will be making a lot of art, and reading a SHIT TON of books, articles, and all that jazz. Sooooo I thought I would re-start my Art Every Day via school stuff. Some of it will be visual journaling, some in class exercises, and then just some miscellaneous stuff.
Sounds good right?
Right.

Okay, so this painting isn't brand new. I did it mostly last semester, but this summer I did a bit more, So...I guess it is new, cause it is finaly finished.
It is acrylic, pieces of window screen, and graphite.

This image is part of the process for me. I have been working on a new painting so I attached a loose piece of canvas below the painting on the support structure of the main canvas.
Anyway...I have been working with a spray bottle A LOT on this one. SO FUN. Of course while I am using the spray bottle there is water and paint dripping everywhere, now it is dripping down to this scrap piece of canvas!
It's like two pieces of art in one! LOVE THAT!
This is after only a few drips, can't wait to make more today!

My nieces painted aprons with me! They are so cute and creative, it was so cool to watch each of their processes. M- didn't want her colors to touch, and B- wanted to watch them all mash together.

Today was a great day for painting indoors...cozied up surrounded by colors, brushes and just my imagination to entertain me. I worked on the flight painting I've been dabbling with lately...not sure exactly where it's going, I wonder if it is looking a bit over-worked, who knows, its been FUN.
Okay I've been trying to upload a picture for 15 minutes. I give up tonight. Try again tomorrow!
****HELLO! It's the day after tomorrow...sorry. I'm not sure what was going on, but I couldn't upload A-N-Y pictures yesterday and the day before!! aarrrggghhh.
The more I look at this the less I like it. I don't hate the whole thing, but the white circles in the lower portion are too fat. I'll see what I can do sometime this week.

Okay so do you remember this painting? I didn't really either. It was going nowhere, had no life, and I put it aside for almost 7 months.
Today I picked it up.
It is no way shape or form finished, but I feel like it might actually become something one day.
You saw the first layer...here is the second...
and the third...or its current state...
