I’m Painting Again!

Which is wonderful! A good thing! Especially since I’m getting paid for it. And though I’m probably taking longer on it than I probably should, it’s keeping me from stressing over bills and finances and such that I should be worrying about due to the lack of a job I once had. Then again, I have another one to hopefully look forward to in the coming months, which Lady Noble and I have been getting together and discussing over the past couple of weeks while Lord Noble works on fixing my main computer. In the mean time, I’m documenting the work I’ve gotten done for this project…which is painting the background panels of someone’s model train layout. And I thought it might be nice to share the progress here every week, just to show how things are coming along.



While I was painting this earlier, I was chatting with a friend over MSN and turned the webcam on so he could watch me paint. Not that he could see very well what it was I was painting, but I was generally having a good time being in a happy frame of mind and remembering a few of my high school art classes. When I was first working on some painting projects, I remember a friend of mine simply ignoring her own projects just so she could watch me paint. Just watching was in a sense therapeutic to her, and I remember promising her to videotape myself while we were in college incase things got too stressful for her and she needed to unwind.



Yeah…I’m horrible at keeping my promises, and I remember hearing that where she had gone to college had done a number on her health, but she’s now working as a pretty successful photographer…so…something must have gone her way. Anyways, it got me to thinking about figuring out a way to set up a webcam so that…well…anyone that’s interested could watch as I go along. Other than MSN, I’m not entirely sure how to go about that on here or any other site…but it’s a thought that I might take up with one of my few friends who know a little more about that kind of thing. When I get my main computer back, I’ll look into getting a camera for it and set it up in a way so people can better see what I’m doing, instead of watching me dance to the music I might happen to be listening to at the time.



So…anyways…more on the painting, what kinds of materials I’m using, and such next week. Enjoy!
