LOL!  Look how mess my space is!  I knew it was but till i was taking pictures to show you I didn't realize….i need to make time to clean. Hehehehe…I won't.  It's only Wednesday and I am ready to sleep for a year!  Starting a new job is so straining.  But as with everything new it will all come with time.  I was in the products department most of yesterday learning about concrete assessories and pipe, it was wicked fun!  Today I think it's a bit more and in-depth, then to the rental counter on equipment!
   I have all over my studio bits and pieces of inspiration and "rules" to help me along the way when I am stuck.  A good rule of thumb for all artists is to always have a journal going with creative ideas and little studies on those ideas.  I am not good at this concept but I do give it attention.  My series about the poem I have notes and colors and little tiny abstracts for my jumping off points and when I find that I am lost in my painting I can always refer back to my notes and then I am on my way again.  Speaking for myself but I do know alot of artist struggle with this, being so excited about an idea and along the way forgot something and get kinda lost in the process.  So notes are good!  Another idea which I think is awesome, I read it off Carol Marine's blog, put a few sticky notes around your work for little reminders as to what you wanted to do in your work.  Thanks Carol!  I've already told my daughter this trick the other day when she felt lost in her painting and it helped her a lot!  Ok off to make my lunch and to work!  As always….

Live Life in Color!
