New Year. New studio assistant

Wow, 2020 is finally over. We have mathematically entered a new year… but does it really feel like it? In most ways, not really? Still waiting for Covid to subside and for our social and economic state to balance (just a little bit please).

There is one thing that has changed for me; i have a new distraction. Meet Oleifr (Old Norse. Pronounced like “Oliver”). He is a Poodle and Collie mix. He joined our household on Martin Luther King day, January 18, 2021.

The winter is always a more fallow time for my creativity; i get caught up in the holidays, family and things. And my studio isn’t heated, so its cold and the viscosity of the paint changes.

So i started doing more charcoal drawings at the end of the year, which is rewarding and fun change. But since getting my new assistant the studio has been empty.

I am hoping to find something quick and easy to do everyday so i can participate in the The 100 Day Project again – starts January 31… we will see.
