I have found an open art studio at the Art Center in downtown St. Pete. I went today, a bit nervous since I haven’t drawn a live model in quite some time, but was happy to find it extremely relaxing and satisfying. It was a great space. A large room full of artists, some more experienced than others, but all there with the same intensity and focus. All glowing with a passion for art and a need to create. It is the place I must spend my Saturdays, engaging with other artists and focusing on my craft. It is a definite and forced creative block of time during my week of chaos and perpetual excuses for not tapping into my beloved other world – the undomesticated, raw reality that I can escape to and create from within. I will look forward to open studio Saturdays at the Art Center to exercise my skills and prime my hand for the work ahead.
Yay! and…OMG it was so good to see those images of your work!! Amazing girl!! Thanks for the buck up – I need you around to kick my butt 😉
Thanks – I’ve missed you!
Gotta love life drawing! I was at the Box tonight, while a class worked from a model. The teacher in me never dies … but I resisted the urge to help them find the line and movement.
Didn’t draw. Went back to my studio and painted 🙂
