It's Friday again and I don't have a lot to show for painting this week. It's been a week of working the closing shift and we are now open until 10 pm . I just never seem to adjust to that shift and can not get anything at all done at the house :(
I did work on a few background pages... adding more texture and designs to pages I had cleaned the brushes on previously.
Some of them I"m really liking and others still need a lot of work. It's relaxing to just randomly add paint to a surface.
These are the lunch time doodles for the week :) Most of my meal breaks were spent napping this week.
Random thoughts for this week are....

ReplyDeleteLOVE your background pages and your doodles are so intricate-wow! It 's hard to find art time when working such hours but yet you still manage to get some wonderful projects done.
ReplyDeleteYour background pages are outstanding Carol. Great job.
ReplyDeleteAll your backgrounds are stunning! I love to make backgrounds too. Great tangled doodles. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,
ReplyDeleteLove your background pages, the doodles and the quotes.
I never forget how I used to wish for more family and creative time when I held a job.These days I am very lucky to be retired and having the time to do as I like but instead of work stealing my time away my health is the thief.
There will always be some kind of diversion but our passions will always find a way out even if for a little while.
Hope your hours get better.

Oh, I can imagine you can't get anything done when you work those hours. It's a good thing that backgrounds are quick to make, isn't it? Love your delicate lunchdoodles, and the quotes this week are wonderful. I especially love the second one.

Sorry I'm late getting here this week. I've found myself coming and going, which is never a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for backgrounds and these are awesome. Of course, when they are that pretty, I hate to cover them. You did a great job with the various layers over previous layers.
Really enjoyed your random thoughts, too. STRESS. I can understand and relate to that one!
Love your zens, so relaxing to make!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're having trouble with the later shift! I have done it and I totally understand. Your lunchtime doodles are amazing!
ReplyDeleteRandom acts of paint … can, indeed, be so relaxing, freeing, inspiring. I like them! Your doodles, too. And I hope the schedule finds some harmony for you!
