new work in progress, with a side of something silly

February 2, 2011 By Administrator

Really really in love with this new painting I’m working on.  Based on one of the drawings from my art house coop sketchbook project…

watercolor work in progress

Hoping to have it done in time for the SMARTS Call for artists for the 2nd annual Arts of the Community Exhibition.  I might title it something like “Incubation” or “Incubators” or something incubating-related.  Which makes me think about hatching baby chicks in 6th grade…

Oh gosh, while I am posting and babbling randomly I guess I should put this in to.  I made a silly picture:

SnuffleARTagus

Springboard put this “I <3 Art Because…” sign in their spring workshop flier for people to fill in & post photos of.  I had gotten into a goofy tweet conversation with Springboarder Noah about artimals (cuz in his pic he is an Aartvark…other good ones included the hippopARTamus and the plARTypus).  The workshop flier sat on my art table for several more days, and I couldn’t think of anything that I could say about loving art that would be better than being a SnuffleARTagus.  And the empty paper towel & tp rolls in my recycling were calling to me.  So there you go.  I made a goofy picture.  Somehow I always end up taking weird photos of myself in my bathroom.  I guess the lighting is really good in there.

Incidentally, Noah is teaching all ten of Springboard’s Work of Art workshops this spring, and they are awesome & super helpful so if you are an artist in the Twin Cities wondering what you need to move your career forward I highly recommend that you check them out.  You can buy in bulk and save money!  They are packed full of good info like how to price your artwork, marketing, copyright laws, using social media, etc.  And Noah tells funny weird stories and does strange things like making a really big deal out of not liking strawberries when you bring them to class and then taking a video of himself eating the strawberry and not liking it.  Practical art career guidance + meeting & networking w/other artists + sense of humor = win!

Hmm I did not intend this post to be mostly about Springboard.  I intended it to be about how excited I am about my watercolor painting.  Mleh.  Gonna go eat something and go back to painting now.
