One of the definitions is "to shine Brightly". How often do you shine? Some days it's pretty hard to get a good shine on. On those days when you have no creative energy, you doubt yourself as an artist. On those days when you say "what the hell am I doing". When you have those kind of days , "get your dazzle on". Just Shine , walk away from what your doing and go do something that makes you laugh, smile and feel good. Or just go have a good cry and get it out.I tried to make my background (aka like Lost Luggage does her), luckly I am starting her class on Monday. And then you will see my backgrounds (DAZZEL)
Hi Lee!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been digging through my old blog posts about Hong Kong for your daughter. She may want to read this one: http://ponosmom.blogspot.com/2007/02/hong-kong-day-3.html
I think she might enjoy seeing the big Buddha on Lantau Island, too. There is plenty to see in Hong Kong, and I know she will have fun.
Oh, I have days like that!! I wonder if I'm just fooling myself. And then I take a break and come back at it later. I think your dazzle painting looks good. But I know about trying to get the julification factor. It's not easy!!
ReplyDeletethat dazzle pic looks like a departure from your usual stuff and moving up to the next level...probably as youre getting a lot of inspiration and prac from those classes you are doing... and it shows! Looking forward to seeing your latest post class stuff!
ReplyDeleteHi Lee...thanks for visiting my blog.Yes, I had a great time in NJ. Got to platy with all the grand-children. They tire me out but it's a good kind of tired.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your art classes, keep us informed.
Very cool post and great sentiment. I am beginning to shine a wee bit so I'll keep trying till I get to dazzle. Have fun at your class and dazzle them.
ReplyDeletegreat advice, for good Julification for not starting the class yet, too -- hee!
ReplyDeleteyesterday, my form of dazzling was to go lay up in my bed, propped by 82 pillows, cushions and blankies, and watch House and Garden TV shows for 4 ENTIRE HOURS. I never watch TV, but I had spent all day Saturday mucking out my studio, and Sunday I couldn't stand to go in there and make ONE SINGLE mess. I wanted it to be all clean (DAZZLING!) when I start Julification tonight! hee!
Love your background page and your word choice....
