Doing anything fun this weekend? I am going to be painting, and writing some blog posts. I am having a small crisis: I hate all of my paintings right now. I have this need to express something else with my painting right now...and I have to hunker down and make it happen or I will wither and die. Uh! I am an arteeeest, so I get to say dramatic stuff like that.
I also am going to make the final push to finish up our house (or at least tie up loose ends.) Our dishwasher has been needing to go for a while, and it has become so loud that we can't talk to each other in the kitchen when its on...yeah. Its gotta go. Also, hello gas stove! Thats happening too.
In other, other news. Did you see the Hable Construction lady's house? In Athens, Ga? Hoot Hoot! Hubba Hubba and other Three Stooges noises! You know I love me some HC.

Lordy! I love me some pattern on pattern action. Getting kinda panty over here.
Also, whats a good white, light grey color that you like?
That living room is perfection. My new favorite living room I think.
ReplyDeleteaw...you shouldn't hate your paintings bc so many of us love them. your paintings are beautiful and they inspire me in so many ways. also, hable construction lady's house is off the chain. that living room with all the pattern and craziness and yet still lookin like class all the way and serene? good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think every artists hates their own work sometimes. I am just not going to be a diva about it :) I gotta get me some hable man!
DeleteHi Michelle. I love your work and love you even more for being so real. I go through that too, I assume we all do. How do you get through it? Just keep painting and trying different things? Do you look around for inspiration? I do both myself. My main struggle right now is just consistently prioritizing the time for painting every day in order for my work to grow. Good luck with this, I know you will get through it beautifully. xx
ReplyDeleteI am also struggling to make painting a priority. There is so much other stuff to do! It will turn out great in the end though. Thanks for your comment.
DeleteAre you looking for a white or a really light gray? I happen to be a Benjamin Moore expert. It's all I use, unless a customer buys their own paint.
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking for something almost white, check out gray mist (OC-30), gray owl (OC-52), horizon (OC-53), or moonshine (OC-56). For something darker, but not much darker, I like stonington gray (HC-170)or harbor gray (AC-25). I just painted some revere pewter (HC-172), which you will see tons of examples of on Pinterest. It is absolutely beautiful, but it is more of a brownish gray, not quite a pure gray.
Thank you Jo! Love this. Going to take my phone to pull this up at the paint store :)
