A rainy start of the week

A rainy start of the week

by tm · Jun 11, 2012

I woke up very early this morning.

The idea was to go running, as I try to do three times a week, at least. Great way to start the day and get my work out out of the way.

I had my gear ready from last night, including a hat, as I thought it would probably be raining a bit.

Unfortunately it was more than a bit.

It has been raining since yesterday afternoon, a thick, incessant rain, the kind that makes you forget that it’s actually summer.

After about half an hour of tossing and turning, I just got up.

I opened the curtains in the living room into a grey and wet monday morning.

And got my camera.

The grey room

by tm · Mar 22, 2011

I’ve painted the studio in grey. A light shade of ash grey, with a bluish hint.

Such a beautiful colour it makes me want to hug the walls!

I’m not sure if I’ve decided on the grey because I was painting creatures in subtle shades of grey, just before the move, or I started painting grey creatures because I already made my mind about grey walls.

A part from the wall I haven’t painted in weeks.

Moving tend to unsettle me and often it takes ages to get back into a suitable creative routine.

And we all know how important is a good working routine.

Now, after getting rid of the hideous magnolia that covered every inch of the new flat, I’m free to open the boxes and set up my work space properly.

The room is not particularly big, but there’s enough for a big table and comfy chair, the easel, a few shelves and probably a sofa bed, as the place is going to double as “guest room” if necessary.

My head and sketchbooks are full of ideas and techniques that urgently need to be put into practice.
