Woah there...this is going to be a tough task seeing as though I have totally disregarded my blog for so very long! Lets just say i'd lost my mojo....BIG TIME.<br />
<br />
Saturday I went to the <a href="http://www.saa.co.uk/info/its-all-about-art">SAA all about art exhibition</a> and was a fantastic day! So many goodies it was like a sweetie shop. Lots and lots of demos and workshops. Got stuck in straight away and moved from my comfort zone to something that has totally brought back my fading mojo.<br />
<br />
Workshop number 1 was with <a href="http://www.jeremyford.co.uk/">Jeremy Ford.</a> Has whet my appetite somewhat to learn pastels properly.<br />

Most who create, paint whatever are never happy with their work! I am really no exception. Whilst painting I see my work through my artist eyes 'ooh I love that colour, that mix, that run'. On completion the critique comes out to play. Believe me I am my worst! </div>
<br />
I love happy little accidents and the first of these paintings was a happy joyous little accident. I fell in love with painting all over again. So in 3 days I have completed 3 new paintings. Gone are the long necks and the whimsy feel and born are a newer more pleasing to the eye version.<br />
<br />
However....I'm still not that happy! I get frustrated! I am always learning.<br />
<br />

I have submitted a painting to the Art Auction which is happening tomorrow in Colchester....THAT WAS BRAVE! I so want to go but at the same time nervous. What if I doesn't sell? What if people talk to me? But I will go...the first step is complete and by Friday morning it will be over :)<br />

Totally inspired by so many artists and the latest is Lucy Claydons work, which you can view <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lottie-Frank/135600209791742">here</a>. I am loving her style, the faces and the colours she uses.<br />
So, it inspired me to do a little bit of sketching this morning.<br />

Due to having no blank canvases i decided to rework an old one.....so i splashed on a little more paint to go over the image that was there originally. I had always loved the paint runs on this canvas but hated the image. So with a few more squirts of water and paint runs this happened.....<br />

<br />
And then i loved it. Careful not to paint over those yummy colours i've added a face and with a light white wash am pleased that i can see the runs coming through and adding to her skin tone. This is where i am with it so far.....<br />

How I wish it could have continued, i wasn't ready for it to finish. We were asked to create an image of where we see ourselves within a ball of wool (seriously you had to be there!!) <br />

It's hard to describe what this means. But...i really do not have an issue with showing images that possibly reveal my innermost thoughts and feelings. It's good to share.<br />
<br />
The second image was to be of what ingredients we felt we brought to the course. This was a difficult one....but a 15 minute spontaneous image revealed this.........<br />

Strangely, group image that we created at the beginning of the course which was shown after this image was created, revealed this........<br />

A very very similar image! And totally unplanned....so what does that mean????? Does that mean i've learnt nothing? Come full circle???? A question i've been asking myself all day. <br />
<br />
So thats it...it's done, over....i feel quite sad.<br />
<br />
On the upside...my mum is home from her 3 1/2 months away in oz....and this is one of the things she gifted me.....<br />

Great to have you back mum :)Carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07393180076092097208noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147060061963916335.post-72119884608480462472013-04-14T17:49:00.001+01:002013-04-14T18:06:03.647+01:00On what I have been up to!I'm trying to re-love my paintings again, my blog and my Facebook page www.facebook.com/caralara72 (nice little plug there). I have neglected all lately. <br />
<br />
As I said in a previous <a href="http://caralara1972.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/blog-post_2780.html">post</a> I have been doing an Art Therapy course, well, last essay finished today and to be submitted and last session tomorrow night. So what do do next? I'm planning on taking a Life Coaching course which runs for 6 months, this should give me time to work out my next steps. The Life Coaching course will hopefully go hand in hand with what i've learned at Uni, although I am far from an Art Therapist and the likelihood is slim slim slim, I can use the skills that i've learned. I'm happy with that!<br />
<br />
I have also been approached to submit a piece of work to an art auction to raise funds for an exhibition. Yay I so want to do this, but worried, what if it didn't sell! I would feel such a fool. <br />
<br />
I have also approached someone locally and suggested 'art workshops' in a local space. They are very interested and hoping something will come of this.<br />
<br />
And....i've started a new <a href="http://me7212.wix.com/caratilson">website</a> which is now home to most of my portfolio. I've also started work on a new online <a href="http://me7212.wix.com/caratilson#!expressing-through-play/cyji">workshop</a> 'Expressing through play'. Pop over, send me a message, give me your thoughts and ideas...i'd love to hear them.<br />

During my week off work i took the opportunity to tidy my art room and on going through my crafting materials realised i hadn't made anything for ages, so i spent a few days making cards! It was so therapeutic even though I won't use them :)<br />

It has been the loooooongest coldest winter and I've not been very productive. I've eaten way too much and it's now time to lose that horrible winter weight! I've hated the fact that it was dark early, curtains closed and shut in side for months. Now it's time.....operation GET HAPPY!</div>

Not aesthetically pleasing to the eye but we have been encouraged throughout to just 'PLAY' and play is what i have done. <br />
<br />

<br />
I would love love love to continue and do the MA degree to become and Art Therapist but full time work commitments and the fact that it is self funded have put paid to that.<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/02/21/1469.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/02/21/s_1469.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="298" /></a></center>
<br />
I have a couple of other options...psychotherapy degree or counselling<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/02/21/1471.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/02/21/s_1471.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="400" /></a></center>
<br />
But again its the cost of funding this myself. I cannot tell you how much satisfaction i have got through learning again....i wish i'd done more at school.<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/02/21/1473.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/02/21/s_1473.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="400" /></a></center>
<br />
So...providing i pass this year, which i'm sure i will....i have to make some decisions about my next move.<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/02/21/1474.jpg"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/02/21/s_1474.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="400" /></a></center>
<br />
Overall it has taught me to be much freer with my art making.<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/02/21/1476.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/02/21/s_1476.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="298" /></a></center>
<br />
and has opened my mind so much and allowed me to understand myself a little more....more is good yes???<br />
<br />

I've loved every single minute of the experience...and am sad that the next nine weeks will pass by in a flash.....JUST as we have all got to know each other.Carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07393180076092097208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147060061963916335.post-3158565913177360622013-02-21T12:09:00.001+00:002013-02-21T12:26:51.296+00:00A new commissionI've been commissioned to paint a canvas for a very talented artist/creative <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Marti-Crafts/542493495783902">MartiCrafts</a> for her bedroom. She has decided to make her own lampshades, throws etc all with an underlying indian theme! You can see her mood board on <a href="http://pinterest.com/rokeyaviolet/bedroom/">pinterest .</a> <br />

I've wanted to capture likeness for soo very long and make a painting look lifelike. I'm getting there but i don't think it will ever be my 'thing'. However, i enjoyed painting this immensly. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/02/19/104.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/02/19/s_104.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
The skin tone on this particular painting seemed to happen so naturaly. Maybe the picutre i was copying from highlighted tones better than other pictures i've copied from.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/02/19/103.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/02/19/s_103.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="298" /></a></center>

Which is why i've posted a selection of photos of my favourite things.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/04/25/2109.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/04/25/s_2109.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px;" width="298" /></a></center><br />
<br />
A little corner in my 80's living room with my fab iMac (which i love love love). The desk was secondhand but with an old embroidered cloth gave it a very vintage feel. My chair which is a typical red office swivel chair covered in a throw with a little pillow saying 'love is a flower that never fades, it buds in youth and blooms with age'. <br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/04/25/2110.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/04/25/s_2110.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="400" /></a></center><br />
<br />
My bedroom, picture frame with my nan and grandad on their wedding day and a few bedtime reading books. <br />
<br />
<center style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></center><br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/04/25/2112.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/04/25/s_2112.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="400" /></a></center><br />
<br />
A table which i covered in decorative paper and coasters which i painted years ago....fake roses which i bought for 25p per bunch in a lovely creamy jug. This lives in a little corner of the conservatory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/04/25/2114.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/04/25/s_2114.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="400" /></a></center><br />
The 50's/60's fireplace....soo so dated but with a little love and tarting up actually looks quite quirky.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/04/25/2115.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/04/25/s_2115.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="400" /></a></center><br />

<br />
And the dining room table as it is today....little 70's doily things bought from ebay and a few fake flowers. A vintage tea cup with a tea light living inside. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/04/25/2118.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/04/25/s_2118.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="400" /></a></center><br />
<br />
I love my little home...it might not be up to date and full of brand new things, but surely its about how you dress things yes? I love pretty things which is why i cannot get rid of anything. I've battled against this for a long time, but you know what? It's ok...instead of being thrown away my things just hibernate for a while until its time for them to come out again :).<br />
<br />
Considering i had to rebuild my home and life all those years ago...i don't think its all that bad!Carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07393180076092097208noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147060061963916335.post-60033367386732192062012-04-24T10:32:00.000+01:002012-04-24T10:32:39.019+01:00Social Networking and Marketing my work!Everywhere i read, tweet, fb, promote promote promote! I have had a blog now for 3 years and posted on a regular basis. I have re-tweeked it, made it look prettier, posted about all sorts of things. I tweet about my blog, my etsy shop. I update my FB page with new work, new posts etc etc. I have tried many many different tacts to no avail. By rule of thumb all of this social networking i have been doing should have got me more views and possibly more sales by now....but no!<br />
<br />
Does this mean my work is just not buyable? Or am i just not 'networking' hard enough.<br />
<br />
Twitter.....i find this a very lonely social networking site. Most of you will probably be screaming at the monitor 'no way'. But seriously, it is. Half the time i stare at it not quite knowing what to say, therefore i plug my blog, shop etc....well isn't that just spamming? and doesn't that wind people up?<br />
<br />
FB......getting people to actually 'like' your page is half the battle....100 and something fans later and it still doesn't seem to work for me. <br />
<br />
Blog.....as i said, i update and update. I visit other blogs and comment. Yet comments on my page are few and far between and most of my followers probably don't even come back for a second read. <br />
<br />
Etsy.....well....i have seen some real rubbish on there. Hair accessories that a 3 year old could throw together (no offence etsy people and i'm bound to now get many followers desert me) but its true! I spend hours re-inventing myself as an 'artist', trying to paint for my audience. It's hard....again sales are few. <br />
<br />
As a 'shy artist type' i am not confident with my work and it took lots of years and courage to actually show it....what is the answer? <br />
<br />
I guess now this is the bit where i show a new painting and link it into my post<br />

Why do you move so fast! All of a sudden you just creep up and then go as quickly as you arrived! <br />
<br />
It's monday morning blues for me today. Back in the office, confined in a space where i can't breath, be me, be happy. Four walls trapping me from the outside world! There is so much i want to do and so little time.<br />

<br />

The iPad app that i have soooooo been wanting and needing. I have to say it is the best best bestest sketching/writing app that i have ever seen! My next purchase is a long awaited stylus so that i can really use it as a sketch book, scribble down ideas etc. At the moment i'm drawing with my finger, which is interesting and really gives a whole new meaning of finger painting! Who would have thought eh?</div>

Fashion illustration has always been high on my 'things i'd love to do' list, yet now its too late. I remember watching a programme in the 80's called Gems - about fashion designers - and oh my how i loved it and wanted to be in that industry......if only.</div>
