I am grateful to Val at Maple Avenue Apparel for creating the 3mm Apparel Shop. It's open until 11/16/22. Last Time I purchased a tank, v-neck tee, long sleeve tee, and a hoodie. All are excellent in quality.
So many thoughts... so little time! As I read and observed today’s painting, “The Kick Inside” popped into my brain. (Of course we know it was there all along; just feed the sentimental jukebox some dimes!) “The what?” some might ask. Pop star Kate Bush’s first album in 1978 bore that title. #3 in England’s pop charts.
Why that? Both today’s post, with drawing, and Kate’s singing style possess a “kick” from inside. Author/painter/typer extraordinaire told us so near the bottom in the nick from “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron, ending with “My creativity heals myself and others.” An inside job. Striving to heal self and others☑️ Improving painting skills☑️ Working on both a new book and a host of other endeavors☑️ And no signs of pulling on the reins anytime soon.
Allow me to offer an idea on painting human figures: paint live models! Novice and accomplished painters alike used real human figures. Proportioning limbs near and far. Shadows when posed with the light just so. What curvatures appear when posed in a handstand? Jaw lines. Angle of feet to legs. (I think the nude models cost a bit more...)
Are there classes for which one model poses for several artists? YouTube classes? Zoom classes? I don’t think the Muses would object! Nia might even find cause for hope. Just imagine: real people in 3D, versus 2D representations inherently lacking in much detail.
Note: I don’t Zoom, much less do handstands, clothed or otherwise. 🤷🏽 When the student is ready... Fellow yoga class attendees? Or start PPOP. Painters Posing for Other Painters.
This rambling could easily merit “The Kick Aside!” 🙃
“I am a channel for God’s creativity, and my work comes to good.
As I create and listen, I will be led.
My creativity heals myself and others.

Happy to see this 👆🏼, the new drawing/painting, the decision to pick one specific reply to address the next day with a reflective rather than reflexive reply, AND, I’m twirling like Arrietty over the idea that “...muses ain’t got no quit” made the sub-title!
Tenacious: adjective
• not readily relinquishing a position, principle, or course of action; determined.
• persisting in existence; not easily dispelled.
Etymology: Latin; tenere, tenax, tenac, to hold
English; ious = tenacious, early 17th century
Early 15th century: tenacite, “quality of holding firmly,” from Old French ténacité (14c.) and directly from Latin tenacitas “an act of holding fast,”...
Finding Joy, Freedom, and Growth, in Etymology!

Accepting ourselves as we are gives us the power to continue and grow.
