Since we’re having a quiet celebration at home today and tomorrow, I’m looking forward to playing in my art room.
I’m working on a new piece – a wood-burned and painted kingfisher on a nice piece of wood.
I’m painting it now, using a combination of alcohol inks for the background and acrylics for the kingfisher.
I’m learning so much each time I try to wood burn a new piece. I am now dreaming about other projects I’d like to do, so I’m hoping I can arrange time up in my art room to try to get them out of my head and onto whatever material is required.
My newest challenge up there is that Monster Cat – aka Jet – desperately would like to come in and wreak havoc. I shut the door firmly and she waits outside, no matter how long I’m up there, meowing plaintively. It hurts my heart to hear her, but she really is a maniac when she is curious – which is all the time – and would really cause problems. My wood burning stuff is hot, too, of course, and I don’t want her (or me) to get burned.
So I turn up my music and drown out her meows, losing myself in the joy of playing.
