The Almost Blank Page

Stormy days are always the best to get away from the computer for a little hands-on art sourcing. Maybe it starts when we're in grade school. Rainy days equal inside recess, and with them comes excitement. Maybe it's that we haven't had a proper storm in months. Maybe I'm afraid lightning will destroy my computer.

I have a great big, glass-top art table right next to the window of our building. I'm constantly seeking out excuses to sit at it and daydream.

In any event, I got to play with watercolors today. I also broke out the first sponge ever manufactured to create a background texture. This is my favorite part of creating art because you aren't limited by the constraints of some programmer in a cubicle in California. Sometimes it's important to get a little dirty.
