Mapping out some new color blocking on a painting today.  Also back to the pilates again, some reading and meditation.  Ah balance.  I was really out of sorts for a while there.  I feel back on track now.  The life drawing marathon at Lafayette is coming up on the 17th and I'm working out what supplies I want to take, pre-painted backgrounds, paper types, etc.  It's better to have too much I figure (no pun intended).  Really want to focus on making some larger work again, to loosen up and really get into the process.  It's refreshing to get back into a style of work you are comfortable with.  Yesterday figure drawing was liberating.  We finally worked with shading and the mere idea of it loosened up my work, while making it more accurate.  Previous weeks, (working on line only) I seemed to crank out the same generic female form.
