Janetics Ink

I think I may have to do something with this. I can’t throw anything out that I’ve drawn on. It’s compulsive. #janeticsink #watercolor #palate #painting #repurpose

I think the whole wall needs to be done. I don’t think it’ll work otherwise. #primed #painting #wall #pinterest #artstudio

Looking at all the festivals has got me hoop happy. I have plans to hit at least 1 this season. Get my hoop on. #janeticsink #hoopswag #hulahoop #hoopergirl #hooplove #festival #summer #art #illustration #color #painting

Tonight I taught my daughters about artistic collaborations. This is a giraffe. My daughter drew it, I painted it. On the back, they stamped my postcard stamp. I’m proud as hell! #art #giraffe #proud #painting #collaboration #postcard #watercolor

Still painting these authoritative women. I imagine their arms akembo. She cannot be shaken.

Set up some paintings to inspire me to paint. I’m still inhibited about my art work. I dig it. I cover my life with it, but I don’t if the public does.
Where and why my aesthetic is a question I ask myself sometimes.
Funky.
Peculiar.
Washes of color.
Recycled wood and upholstery tacks from KevinsCouch.
Ironic.
Simple
Perverse at times.
Sharpies.
Each illustration, from my heart.

I don’t like these. They stain everything. It even says to not use indoors or at weddings. On the plus side, hubs says they hold smoke really well and I believe their staining properties would be rad in a painting.

I’ve broken out my sketchbook.
Ultra fine tip Sharpie in hand.
Freshly cut watercolor paper with the edges rounded.
After years of encouragement, I’m shifting my focus.
In the past It’s been 90% jewelry 10% art. Finally I feel secure enough to put my paintings aggressively out there.
Do I think everyone is going to understand it? Will it always make sense?
No. And I have to be okay w that. I hope those who do appreciate my work will understand how effing rad it is to bring my imagination into their lives. My colors. My God’s gift. My emotions.
I give, in advance, my thanks.
