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.

January 2010

Another year!

I have been out of the studio for the past six or seven months.

I have been concentrating of designing costume jewelry. Said jewelry has been taking over my life! It has been fun and rewarding. I did a few craft shows, not many due to the economic down turn. Things have been picking up the last few months. I got good feedback from many people and some sales.

I really need to get back to my first love, oil painting. Plans for a new small piece has been running through my mind and I think that I will start drawing tomorrow. Or I should say today in the am. (It's 12 midnight now. Time to hit the hay.

Keep in touch and remember to take time to enjoy life. You only go around once.

Carolyn
