Welcome to Eclectic Mixup

........ decorative art painting patterns, salvaged antique jewelry, prints.

April 20/09

Wow this month is whizzing by!!! I was thinking on painting and how I procrastinate starting new projects. I was wondering why? I guess it's physiological really. I always find the first painting strokes are the hardest when I start. I guess it kind of goes through the what I call (yuckie stage). And then as I add more layers of paint I find it hard to stop. Funny eh? I have had people ask "how do you come up with ideas?" I think we are all influenced by what's around us. Maybe that season's birds, flowers or whatever.
I have just started on a little owl. On the weekend we were visiting friend and they were talking about the owl they hear at night. So hence the idea and they seem to be so popular right now. Everywhere there are cherry blossoms billowing forth where I live. So that's where he will be amongst the cherry blossoms. Sometimes you just have to go with an idea. Sit down with paper and pencil in hand and scratch some ideas out. It will come to you and then have fun paintin and creatin!
