love this word, it’s who i am, it’s what i do, it’s the way i live my life. so today i reflect on a few things that have happened over the last few days. i stay to the same holiday tradition, i stay on task with the family and the daily entries for 30 day. sometimes i think i just need that jolt that will throw me off. but i rather like the safety net i get by sticking to my rigid life. it takes me to that painting i have been working on today, i rather enjoy it! what i will do is mix it up abit and create some interest with the pieces of the puzzle. let’s take a look and see where it is.

here i sit overlooking beautiful lake michigan and i can think of a ton of things that i could paint. but can i think of anything to write about, oh heck no. the great thing about being a painter is the possibility of the next painting. oh i can paint the next one better or perhaps the paint quality or contrast of light and shadow will be better the next time. i don’t know, is a painter ever really satisfied. do they paint for the next painting? after many years of painting i just now feel like i can approach the canvas and not be blank. i’ll never really feel comfortable with writing :(  i am a PAINTER. Oh and if anyone is wondering, the paintings i post over the next 30 days are all new paintings and no one has seen any of them. i am going in an abstract direction, so enjoy the ride with me! because i am on a 4th of july holiday i did paint a couple of paintings ahead.

so i am making my entries from Harbor Springs, MI. it’s soo beautiful up here, feeling abit inspired. the air is fresh and clean and the sky is this awesome blue. in this part of michigan there are alot of galleries here, due to the chicago and detroit cottage dwellers. we love them! so i have a question about the medium used in the last entry, i use primarily oil with an under paint of acrylic. if you want to check out more of my work here is my website http://www.tinarothwell.com

So I’m the next in line, ok. let’s go for it! I am an artist living in Ada, Michigan. i paint like a crazy person and love every minute of it. i finally have the time to paint, the kids are out of college and my baby is almost 18. i have two out the door and one to go. love my gin and tonics w/ lime of course, especially during the summer months. love whites from Australia and reds from Europe. My husband and I travel alot for business and I would love to start to incorporate painting trips & workshops in my life. I received my bfa from kendall college of art and design, but feel like i learned the most from everyday discipline. huge believer that if you work hard it eventually pays off. so ok enough about me, what about the idea. I worked with a group of women(4 of us) last year in a collaborative group. the most difficult thing i have ever done. there is always that one that controls and then the one that needs medication. i don’t know maybe people in general are hard to work with. too insecure, too controlling,too emotional! i hate working with people, not to mention that they(the group) hindered my growth and creativity! Any hoot, we took an image, split it into fours,six,nine or twelves etc.. we would then take the image or photo back to our studio and paint it on a little panel, then put them back together. it was interesting in that it really was a surprise. the end result was kind of fun to see, but then the more you critiqued the piece the less i enjoyed it. so what i’d like to do is take that idea and push it farther. let’s see what happens with this concept of pushing the piece.

This is some concept art for a game. (some of my most spelled lines hehe).

Inspired in a old retro game Called Sonic from SEGA.

Sketch of the Looping.

Not some Loopings made in the game editor. This took me much work that the drawing and normally is the appositive.
