Artistic Concepts by Carolyn

Daily blog of art in progress by Carolyn Needleman with personal comments by the artist. I primarily work in oil, because I enjoy the rich texture and buttery feel of the oil as I paint. You can manipulate oil to create color excitement, drama, mood and texture in a painting. There is a pleasure in creating a work of art from first draft to finished project that excites me and fills my fundamental need to create.

Sunday, June 18, 2006

The last few days have been different and interesting.

I went to my son and daughter-in-law's house to baby sit my grandchildren. My grandson had a few days off from the end of school to Monday when he was to start summer camp and needed adult supervision.

I was lucky to spend one on one time first with my grandson on Thursday. It was interesting to re connect with my inner child and think of things from a child's perspective of six years. Also fun to draw with a six year old. Such imagination and freedom from fear of not getting it right!

The next day it was one on one time with my granddaughter of 3 years. She is my "Hot Tamale, Firecracker!" What a whirlwind of activity! Chuck N Cheese kept her occupied and very happy for 2.5 hours. Needless to say, I was very tired afterwards, but not she, no nap for her. I don't know how she did it...I must be getting very old.

Needless to say, days like those above are priceless.

Monday it's back to art projects. The still life and a new drawing and possible pastel work.
See yah!

Carolyn
