How I spent my weekend
Now that I've rediscovered painting, I seem to be un-discovering other things, like remembering to eat, or basic hygiene. Yesterday, I ping-ponged all day between painting, editing my book, and grading papers. If we could replace the "grading papers" with "soaked in the tub while savoring a glass of chianti" that would be even better. But it was still a great day.
As for getting over that "first painting in a million years" hump, once I'd stared holes in the 8 by 10 canvas for an hour or so, I just jumped in with my brushes blazing and no real plan. Turned out to be just the right thing, and the result is my newest proof of mental illness, entitled Whore clown in decline:
Apologies for the blurry picture; I just held the painting in one hand and the camera in the other. I'll take nicer pictures with a tripod and such later. Right now, I've got another painting started, and I hear it calling me.

18 of you felt the overwhelming need to say somethin':
Awesome!!
That's fantastic. I'm digging the colors; and hoping that a less blurry photo shows the textures better.
15 years is waaay too long to have not picked up a paint brush, woman! Keep it up! =)
Paint on, Bucky.
Delicious. Yay you!
Keep going, Bucky!! Very cool painting. And "editing a book"???? Get down with your creative self, girl!!
Whore clown in decline? Bucky, you are the limit.
So what if you’re obsessive-compulsive, Bucky! Painting is a great obsession to have and, from the look of that clown, you have vast talent (as I have said over and over and over).
Keep creating the art, my dear!
you are totally inspiring me to get back into drawing & printmaking. now i need a table too.
Awesome! Keep at it, Bucky!
Love it! Just two things:
1. I would call it "Whore Clown Meltdown" (the colors overall are too upbeat for her to be in decline)
2. Were you watching Friday and Thirteen when you painted the eye on the right?!
Wooo! Nice! Sell 'em on eBay!
Excellent! Glad the creative juices are flowing even if it means stubborn stains.
Kranki - I usually put a towel down for that. ;)
Bucky, I can always count on you to say something entertaining when I'm still up and surfing.

I hope the clown doesn't melt in all this heat.
I'm afraid of clowns.
Seriously.
Even whore ones.
