Watercolour Painting in Progress (Final) - Lip Service

2/23/2016

I haven't crunched the numbers yet, but I get the feeling that I've put a bunch of hours into this. Holy moly it's a lot of tiny flowers. This night-time photo doesn't really do it justice, but it's rarely daylight (is it "spring forward" yet???) when I'm around to take photos. Back to working full time, banker's hours, which seems like it should be work goals but it's just too much of me there. Not enough of me here. On this blog, on Youtube, at home, with friends, wherever I might be better off.  /privileged rant

So Tara Leaver is launching a little hashtag party for March
, and while I am usually too detached from life to effectively take part in art challenges, this comes at the same time that I feel I am no longer being challenged enough. I've been mulling it over, taking this challenge and molding it into something I can use. However, I've also been full of energy and sleeping well, so I worry that my idea is growing too large for me to pull off. I'm thinking raw canvas. I'm thinking hoops. I'm thinking daily videos. I'm thinking crazy thoughts. Still, it can't be as crazy as Nanowrimo, right?

Beautiful work :)
It's nice to meet another watercolor and mixed media lover!

I'm not sure I'll participate in Tara's challenge, but I did 30-day challenges before, and that's a great way to keep up with a creative practice and explore a topic in more depth. If you're pulled toward it, that's a great sign.

Hi! yeah! I can't remember if I've tried timed challenges like that, because it's hard to stick to something when you're doing it alone and thus have no accountability to anyone. Nanowrimo was good because of the huge community effort that goes into it. I don't know how successful I'd be without that.
