I wish this fox could be seen in real life- it POPs off the paper - I'm pleased with how it turned out as I had no intentions of painting a fox when I sat at my desk. This painting was started at approx. 6 a.m. and I finished it at 1:30 with only short leg stretches (peanuts in the feeder) and coffee & snacks.. I'm sure since I post them daily people think I 'whip them off' I assure you, that's not the case. lol I realize this because Ginger is at that age - "come play with mom!!" & I find it a little annoying when she interrupts me all the time and must remind "US" - spring will be here soon & I can take them outside & let this one run off steam - she's bored & I have NOT walked her once this winter, I don't go out when there is ice on the sidewalks with constant balance issues - it's not FUN or worth a broken hip or bone. Interruptions come in many forms as it is - and I LIMIT them. No e mail, I don't own a phone so no texts interrupting me, no TV when painting - it's usually music. Canvas - only music.
Why do I try to share daily? To inspire... keep going. Keep going. KEEP GOING.
& I am grateful that several over the years have e mailed me who read this blog to say just that - so .. it's the least I can do & the best I can do - too!
Not only will 'you' become better at anything you practice daily but your mind will thank you for it. Depression is at an all time high across the world - I GET IT. The thing is - I'm not depressed - I feel pretty darn happy most days - other than short bursts of frustration with Norm, I go around here singing & dancing with my girls in between works of heart.
All it takes to change this mood is to focus on the 'news for too long... so, I don't.
It's why you see an increase in art... forcing myself to focus on creation instead of destruction - for that there seems no lack of.
What will you force yourself to FOCUS on today? A line from "How to change your mind"... Who controls your cranium!? Hee hee - Hopefully you can say: ME!
Control your cranium! That's exactly what I'm about to do with a cannabis joint before I start this NEW day on a new adventure in painting.... take control of my cranium before I play with my octopus. lol sounds kinda kinky.
** I recently have been receiving e mail from what appears to be 'Rogers' our main service provider here in Ontario anyway - providing a link WARNING me IF I do not go & re-address my information my rogers account - my e mail will stop coming & yes, it appears official, the sender is a rogers e mail address as well, anyway - I contacted Rogers directly & have been assured IT IS A SCAM:
"I can confirm that this message that you have received is not coming
from us. Due to an increase in the amount of spam messages being sent

you are looking to block an e-mail address from sending you messages you

BEFORE you send any information - contact the company directly and just ASK
"is this for real?" the few moments you can NOW could save you a lot of headache later.
Have a creative day!
NEXT - another octopus - an alcoholic octopus!
