I'm feeling tired and stressed tonight. It's as though many of my buttons are being pushed simultaneously and I'm overloaded. I don't feel like going into it. I'll be fine. I just need a break.
On the positive side my visit with my grandmother went well. She was bright and cheerful. Today was one of her good days, though she kept referring to Randy as "Rudy." He didn't mind though. She didn't know him before her memory started to go. Randy knows it isn't intentional. Heck, half the time she thinks I'm my mother! *LOL* There are worse people to be mistaken for.
I have three art projects in the works: a birthday card for my mother-in-law, a sketch for Illustration Friday and a painting that's been floating around in my head all week. This is the one I most want to get to, but feel I need to put off until the other two are taken care of. It has to do with Native American Spirit Guides. I see it clearly in my mind, the question is can I get it out? This is one I'm willing to spend a lot of time on to get it right. If it eventually works out, I'll share it here. It'll be a watercolor. My mother-in-law's card is going to be a drawing of her walking a potbellied pig on a leash. Why? Because she has always wanted one as a pet but my father-in-law won't let her. She has any number of cats and two grayhounds. Their youngest daughter, who still lives at home, has also had a parade of rabbits and other critters. So he's not being unreasonable in finally putting his foot down. Still, she really wants a pet pig. Therefore I'll draw her with one. Her birthday is Wednesday; that's my deadline for that project.
As for my IF project, I'm really not wild about this week's theme. I have plenty of ideas, I just don't feel very inspired yet. You will of course see what I come up with soon however.
And if my camera is not delivered to me first thing tomorrow, I'm calling the company and demanding to know why!
That's all I've got. I need some sleep.
