This is the first Christmas in many Christmases that I didn’t ask for – Â nor did I receive – any art supplies. Why? Because all my artistic sensibility has left me. Left! Gone. High-tailed it faster than a coyote with its tail on fire.
This is one of the first things I’ve created since, oh, November or so.
I call it: A Pirate lies here. I have had skulls on the brain. Haha. Get it? Background: burnt veneer (Yes Marla, I know what you’re thinking – it is finally the veneer you gave me!) and layers of watered-down acrylics. Otherwise: some sharpies. It’s a start, I guess.
Tonight I have promised to spend some time with my sketchbook. It’s the only way I’ll get back into it again…
