Letting Go, originally uploaded by stacy kathryn.

Painted this yesterday with my hands and a brayer. I just got on the ground with two tubes of a paint white and black. I went nuts. I realized it was the first time I had really gotten my hands in the mess and truly painted with my hands. It was a way of letting go for me. I am trying to figure some stuff out lately…like my style, what I want to paint, how I want my paintings to look. I have been sketching like crazy trying to get ideas on the paper, coaxing them out if you will.

I finished my first sketch book ever today. I have a ton of sketch books, mostly half filled, but I finished one today. I started it in January of this year, and more than half of it is sketches from just the past few months. I did a mini sketch-a-thon to finish the last 20 or so pages. I am going to make a video of it tomorrow. Hopefully will be able to get it up here.
