CAN'T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES.....

Something just occurred to me..I use a lot of pictures from books and magazines for inspiration and reference..and I have them everywhere...tacked on the walls, lying around in huge piles, they fill drawers, shelves, boxes..etc...I have an insane amount..LIKE I could possibly draw/paint them all or use them as elements in painting in the next 200 years....I also have empty journals of the same magnitude, lying around, waiting for me to art journal my way through them..uh huh..that is going to happen in this century...RIGHT...I will hold my breath, and WAIT for it to happen...LOL..so today--I have decided to take control of the images that rule my studio..I am on vacation (I swore that I wasn't going to paint until the first--and well, we SEE how THAT has been working)...so, today--I am going to be over-indulgent and I am going to take my glue stick, and fill those journals with all those images...I may only get a couple done, but that is a start....and it'll be nice to have my inspirations, or a tiny part of them..in books..that I can just look through..and find what I want..at least that is the plan...I am also going to drink hot chocolate, and maybe..JUST MAYBE..I won't stop to paint just a LITTLE...LOL...surely I can go ONE DAY without picking up the paintbrush...SURELY...Live Artfully!!
