Chasm was started a couple weeks ago and then put to the side because I got busy cooking for the Super Bowl and my husband's birthday. He turned 38 this month and we both enjoyed being able to celebrate it! Every birthday is welcome now and we no longer dread getting older. We enjoy it and love it! It was a good day. :) Anyway today I decided to pick this painting back up again even though I had no clue where to go with it. I still haven't a clue as to where this piece went. I'm just going with it and calling it done. It is more minimalistic than I usually work, but maybe that's a good thing right now. I jumped around with mediums again with this one. There's watercolor, colored pencil, ink, acrylic, and then at the very end I threw on some of the coffee I was drinking. I have to admit that I look at this and then most of my other recent works and think that when I am dead and gone some critic is going to say I must have entered my Blue Period or something and that it must be in correlation to my family's struggles! LOL! Poor sap won't realize I started dabbling in blue before that ever happened. But we'll let him go ahead and think whatever he wants because I won't be around to care! LOL! One thing for sure, I know it is making my mother happy because she's always wanted me to paint more blue paintings . :D I still really love earth tones and I'm missing it. Maybe the next one will be more earthy and not so cold. Who knows what my mind will come up with. Even I don't know!
