Oceanic artist conversation

The last two days have been rather fun. At the beginning of the week SES came and picked up the kids so I have been trying to do things I can't normally do unless they are asleep. However though I woke up wanting to paint most of yesterday was filled with waiting for Brewski to see if I needed to take him to the train station, it started at 7:30 in the morning when I woke up early to take him but found out right as the time came that it was to be a later train, this happened all day long until the last train. I had wanted to paint all day but kept stopping just after prepping the work area to make sure I wasn't sitting around with extremely dirty hands when I needed to be driving, no way I'm getting acrylic on my steering wheel.

However at some point I got a decent break of time between the last time he said he would need a ride to the train and the next one he might be on and decided to finally paint. I have been working on a painting for some time now, I decided to try and make part of it come out of the canvas. I paper mached a girl onto a canvas and then couldn't decide what to do with it and put it on the back burner. It's been a few months since I've bothered with it and I decided I wanted to try and pick it up again. I started it and then decided it was too plain and needed something:

So I showed the British Twins because we were all on the skype together. The British Echo and I began discussing it and how I said it seemed like there was something missing. He then busted out his laptop and played with paint and scribbled on the jpg and got this:

Which then made me think of something more like this:

And then it turned into this:

After I was done painting Brewski wanted to head up to Seattle and so I called The Shoulder and asked if he would like to hang out and so we both headed up that way. Brewski dropped me off and borrowed the car. The Shoulder and I spent the evening playing video games. I have to say it is a bit weird that I suck so terribly much at playing Halo, Reach, and yet I was just massacring them in Rainbow Six Vegas. The next morning he played some more and then we watched some Undercover Boss and then The Roommate and I watched some bad videos and made fun of them before we all sat around watching Eureka.

All and all I would say the last couple of days has been pretty good. I miss having the kidlets around but its been a good break.
