Stepping Out Of My Comfort Zone

I stepped away from my art table for awhile - the Muse had flown the coop...pens sat untouched...paint unopened...not even the junk mail inspired me ;-)

Then one day I visited the blog of one of my favorite O.C. girls - Pilar Pollock - and when I saw her painting of "Alma" - the female singer in a garage band...INSPIRATION struck!

The last time I sketched and painted women faces was waaaaay back in high school. Yes, it was waaaaay back in 1965-1968. And so I began to sketch, and then get out the paint and pens and all sorts of wonderous things to create backgrounds with ;-)

And the BEST thing is...
I am having FUN...just working in my visual journal for ME.

So, THANK YOU Pilar ...for unknowingly lifting that veil of artist's block...you ROCK homegirl!
