in the studio...kind of.

i never realized how much my surroundings affect my mood.

i now know that living in a mess gives me major anxiety.

my studio is a disaster.

between the everyday mess from working and then the mess from the flood, my studio isn't an inspiring place to work these days.

but, yesterday i started on a giant canvas i had laying around.

in one of my articles i wrote for Somerset Studios, i mentioned that i had a big bag of raffle tickets i was planning on using for something.

this is what i did!

i covered the entire canvas in tickets.

i painted it black and drew in my angel.

i was happy until i added the hair.

i used sewing pattern tissue and i'm not sure about it.

I want to do giant wings made from vintage paper from an old hymnal so i need contrast but something about it isn't working for me.

i think i need to just finish it and then take another look at the hair.

maybe it will look different.

i'm off to take my morning walk.

enjoy your day!!!
