1. Everything old is new again if you wait long enough


© Paula Pertile

This is from a while back. I haven't looked at if for a while, and I forgot how much I liked it.
I'm thinking of doing something with this idea for licensing. Except that this piece took forever to do, and this style, done this way, wouldn't be practical. I do love the brightness of the watercolor though, and hadn't realized how soft my colored pencil work is by comparison until I, well, compared the two.

I used ink, watercolor, AND colored pencils on this. Yikes.

I've been fiddling with my website, reorganizing my art (the new version isn't published yet, so don't bother going to look). I decided to do a little detail of each piece in addition to the whole piece, so that means doing a whole separate html page for each piece of art. I know, I'm conking myself on my head. But I know that when I look at people's sites I like to see details, so I'm doing details.

Today I've sneezed about 12,000 times. Seems I'm allergic to something or other. Staring at a computer screen, coding html, and sneezing ~ doesn't that sound like a fun way to spend the day? Hey, maybe I'm allergic to my computer. Now there's a thought.

There's nothing earth-shatteringly interesting to post about. I have a bunch of stuff half ready to show, but I can't seem to gather my thoughts together properly and also do adequate photos or scans. Some days you just can't get it together, and that's all there is to it.

I can't get Michael Jackson songs out of my head. They're just permanently stuck there now it seems. Sigh.
