I missed a couple of days and it's because I'm stuck! You know the good ol' "creative block" you hear about?It is alive and in place in my head and it's SO frustrating. This is when you paint and paint and paint and IT just won't turn out.
Nothing turns out...or I have a bunch of half paintings. ARGGGGGGGUUUUUEEE!!!!!!

Good Afternoon World

I have had the upcoming Pink Show on my mind. The Pink Show is an October Show to raise awareness/money for Breast Cancer.
How many ways can I represent Cancer? The list is endless. Over and over I turn the subject over in my mind....ideas ranging from the the pain of hearing a diagnosis to the determination not to let this Big C rule their lives. We've fought the battle from my home ground to yours...few of us are untouched ...... cancer is an equal opportunity illness.

So how to address this with my painting? Colors? Pink is the theme but can I direct my work that way?
I have three options in front of me: a blank canvas, a partly done background and the bare outlines of a woman walking away. The background with the vibrant colors of royal blue and green are so tempting because of the wealth of color...the woman walking away seems like it has such possibilities. But the best would be to meld these ideas...
