1. Um...
Go read some mythology? I have a strange desire to paint/draw Daphne turning into the laural tree from Ovid's Metamorphosis, so no taking that. :P

11. There's more color there than first meets the eye.
The challenge is to use as little white as possible. And no black at all.

16. It's a pretty cool exercise.
Sometimes I still pull out "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" to brush up. No pun intended.

6. When I'm blocked, I turn to still life
I go through the house, find a couple odd items, throw them into a pile on the kitchen table and paint. Now would be a great time to take those odd presents you dont quite know what to do with and paint them.

9. i had this dream about a painting
a bit pedestrian.

a field of anatomically correct hearts and related cardiac imagery (blacks/reds/etc colors) with industrial age factories in the background . . .

call it heartland.

15. i got a million more
except i can't paint or draw.

but my dreams are rich minefields of horrific imagery that are real as wakeful life. almost as if demons are molesting me in the middle of the night.

sometimes, it isn't at all unpleasant.

i get extra disturbed this time of the year.

please, if you can paint this, i'd pay you for a copy.

Hey...you can paint a blocked writer, and I'll write about a blocked painter.
