Psst.... I am painting as fast as I can

I am painting as fast as I can.   The projects are starting to pile up..  Quality versus quantity, right? The painting is in it's ugly phase.. an ugly painting doesn't get pretty until much later... I know... I know.. No excuses..
 I am a little jealous about people who can make art quickly, and I am also jealous of people who make amazing art quickly.  :)  Since I have no paintings to show you, I will show you funny photos and a little bit of a inappropriate video.  That's me practicing my karate moves. 
My husband's little brother- being really funny.  This could have been my face book profile picture but all ruined because of him!
We are supposed to get snow tonight- fingers crossed and then I can really get some work done because I will be snowed in.  Productivity thoughts coming your way and hopefully my way.

Ach -- I know; it seems I'm always up against it these days. But I find that having a plan -- especially walking into your studio with a plan, like having the right reference material and a colour palette already in mind -- helps immensely, and lets you get right into it. Let us the see the results!

Paintings DO tend to have an ugly stage, don't they? I experience this a lot. The trick is to not trash it during the ugly stage because, like the duckling (couldn't resist), they usually move past that into something quite nice.

I don't want to be productive...I want to lay on my sofa and read. And drink tea. And snuggle my cat.

my family (on my mom's side) is a creative lot...i am always amazed at how they can make something out of nothing at a moments notice and the drop of a hat!
art at any speed is worth the effort and wait, though...

Haha ... loving your karate moves Erika! :)

I always find it interesting that other people find the same as me (though in my case it's writing) - creative projects often need to move through an 'ugly' phase before the beautiful can be revealed.

Sending lots of wonderful productivity and focussed thoughts your way! :)
