Still alive. Been busy with my comic, but trying to get back to oil painting a little bit every morning. . . . I've been working from home due to the virus. Turns out it's not all fun and games. I've been waking up every morning anxious about work, then I'd get up and before I know it, what seems like 20 minutes turns into 3 hours before I realize I didn't eat breakfast. . . . Thought it would be a good idea to start this morning with some hymns and calming oil painting. It's nice to be reminded that greater forces don't really care about a website you're building for your job. Makes it easier to do my best without the anxiety.

Thanks for sticking with me! I feel like it's been forever since I last posted! I had to put off this painting for a few days because I ran out of hairspray which I use to fix drawings... And kept forgetting to get more. 😆 . . . I put the tape layer on the painting where the gold is going to be. I really like how it looks like this... With the textured blue halo. Not going to keep it like this, but definitely inspired for future projects.

What's the first thing you do to start your morning? For me, that's been making black tea. Then drawing, then trying not to stress about the work day. . . Good morning! Work in progress for my St. Margaret of Scotland icon. I need to fix the halo, put on fixative, then I can get started on painting.

Hail to the Queen baby! 🍷 . . If you worked for the perfect queen (or boss) what would she be like? Mine would reward me at the end of a long day with a glass of wine. 😊 . . . Saint/Queen Theodora. She's been my inspiration lately. She was born an exile, married into a world she was unfamiliar with, and overcame many obstacles to be an amazing queen. . . . . Preliminary practice drawing for a gilded icon I'm going to start doing in the mornings. I want to start getting in the habit of spending some time in the mornings making spiritual artworks.

Working on my first collaborative project! My sister and I stretched a linen canvas last summer and we're finally working on the underdrawing. We had a lot of fun spending the afternoon working on this. . . . Old Master copy of Bouguereau's "Work Interrupted". . . Now... Something we forgot to consider (at least I forgot anyway) this artwork is going to be MASSIVE, so no matter how attached we get to it, we're not going to be able to keep it. Neither of us have the wall space. Makes me sad to think about, but hopefully we'll find a good home for it when it's done. ❤️ #drawingart #drawingsketch

Please swipe! . . . Question of the day: What food sounds really good right now? For me, that's slow cooked spaghetti. . . . yesterday morning, I did a drawing of one of John Singer Sargent's paintings. It's still not done. Had a hard time focusing yesterday morning so it took me an hour to get nowhere near done! . . Happy Tuesday and much love! ❤️
