The daunting task of clearing out the studio is almost over. Finally took down that blue painting that’s been looming over my poor family for over a year while I was away at school.
Here’s a photo of before, I’ll post the after eventually but the plastic shelf is gone, the canvases have moved, and there’s a lot less clutter.
There’s that painting and all the mess of objects staged to be moved and organized.
I can finally take some of these supplies out of my bedroom.
It’s funny but now my bedroom is a mess as opposed to the studio now. It just… never ends. I truly wish a magical storage system like Animal Crossing existed. I could turn everything into leaves, put it in some invisible storage space, and call it a day. This house would look different every day.
On the art front, I’ve painted my friend Ally’s face several times. I probably look like a stalker since her face is posted up next to my computer. That’ll hopefully become my next new painting since I think it’ll be fun and that particular portrait had some otherworldly lighting. I’m stoked to mix paint on a palette again as well as try out my new oil sticks. There’s also a confusing oddity of a painting I need to figure out and move on from. It’s been haunting my studio forever. It’s chunky and gross from the amount of times I tried sanding it down and painting over it so now I’m just gonna pop off with it and see what I can do.
I’m rambling. This is a badly written post (par for the course). There’s a lot I wish to say but it seems like I should hold off and continue to reflect.
