RTBTCKI (I can’t see the house across the street edition)
Posted By Kathleen David on April 28, 2011
The fog is rather dense this morning. I can see the house across the street if I focus really hard. I figure once it gets lighter, this will dissipate.
Today is about restocking the larder and getting things in place for the next week. Wednesday is not a good day to go to the store. Thursday is better although the next sales aren’t in place until Friday. Overall Tuesday is their quiet day.
Fig is still doing well. I finally heard her make her “tribble” sound which I hadn’t heard since she got back from the Vet. I was afraid that she lost the sound but she can still do it. The boys are leaving her alone.
I had a series of really weird dreaming including one that couldn’t decide if it was in a fantasy world or the current age. I had technology appearing and vanishing on me all through out the dream. I was there to protect the heir from some unknown bad thing. The royal family trusted me to do so. I got rid of one threat but figured there was another one so I was looking around for that when Caroline’s dulcet tones woke me up with her call down the stairs, “Is anyone down there?” I had to let my eyeball reshape since I had pushed my knuckle into it while I was asleep.
I didn’t know until yesterday how cut throat getting a table to sell fan art at an anime convention is and the lengths some people would go to maximize their sales with OK but not great prints. Also breaking a rule that you can’t be in artist alley and the dealers room. I know at DragonCon you can be in the art show and have a table in the dealers room but not a table in artist alley and the dealers room. I honestly can’t figure out how one can make money considering the fees that the tables entail.
There is a difference between tracing and using photo reference to draw a picture. What that difference it seems to vary from person to person but after seeing the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the Louisville Slugger Museum (really cool exhibit if you haven’t seen it) I know what I believe to be the fine line. His use of photo reference helped him in his photo realistic style that he was known for.
Spring has sprung and my eyes are not happy with me nor are my sinuses. I have found that Allegra seems to be doing the job this year. I am careful that I don’t take it when taking my vitamins. Right now the pollen count is very high and I can attest to that. At least my teeth are hurting from the sinus pressure right now.
Off to get something done today. I declare it a doing day rather than a thinking about doing day. Oh look now I can see the house across the street which means the fog is lifting.
I am grateful for the wacky dreams that I have. At least I amuse myself in my sleep.
