Wednesday, November 29, 2023 The Return of the Lazy Artist

Some of you may recall that although I enjoy watercolor painting, I am often sadly unmotivated. Some people do the artsy things because they just have to, but that (apparently) isn’t the way I’m built. However, if I’ve promised to do a painting for someone, I can get it done. Thus was born what I called the “Lazy Artist Initiative.” I wish I’d chosen another word besides “Lazy,” – perhaps “Inactive,” or “Differently Motivated” – something like that. Whatever.

Here’s the latest painting I did for a friend who signed up to help me get motivated to paint.

It’s a copy of a watercolor painting I saw on Pinterest, but I added the Bible verse. Most of what I paint is a copy of what someone else did, but it’s a goal of mine to start doing more original artwork.

If you, too, would like to receive one of my little paintings, let me know in the comments. The only qualification is that you have to be someone I actually know. It’s a nice extra if you’ve subscribed to my blog, but not necessary. There’s no guarantee as to how long it will take me to do it – sort of depends on what other kinds of things are going on in my life – but I WILL get it done. Really!

That’s it for today! I might be too lazy to delete this in the morning.
