...and just because I allow myself to be distracted...I also am making a side series of paintings based on photos I took at a local greenhouse last weekend and also my early morning trips to the beach :)
...just a couple of things inspiring me this weekend... For starters, LIVE MUSIC! ...and NATURE!
Here is the series so far (below) ...but first, read this...ummm...disclaimer? Is that what this is? Kinda.
I wanted to make sure and make a note that the final images won't be loaded to FB and/or my web for a few reasons. For starters- dry time. I work on these paintings usually at night, and usually go back into them the next day with more paint, and a final layer of drawing with conté crayon. Also, I like to take the final pics outside during a certain time of day...sometimes I am napping so I miss that window. But the work is being made, that's for sure! (heck, even some extra stuff!) If you check my updates to Facebook/Instagram and Tumblr you will see all of the most recent happenings, so check those out of you have a minute. Thanks! - JLG ...I've decided I would give myself the freedom to add to some of my previous 2016 collections...it will give me a headache later with inventory and my OCPD organization/numbering...but so be it. -JLG
In honor of World Autism Day, I pulled some of my 'blue' pieces since 2012 to make a fun slide show, which I posted to Instagram. Only problem...there are kinda tons of pics so it goes by really fast, so I am posting the images again below. Sending love to my sister in law, Maria Gironda Morris for all that she does to advocate for students with Autism in Eastern North Carolina. Also, sending love to all the students I have taught over the years, and to the parents of children on the spectrum of Autism. |
