blogging stress

i told myself 
i would only post finished illustrations or images on this blog, 
and only the nice ones.
the result is: almost two weeks of silence on the blog front.

it was a strange idea because actually, 
i don't make many finished 'clean' images. i just try, and a lot of times i'm fond of how it turns out (mostly not at all like it's supposed to be and with a lot of stains).
so that's what i will do here, 
i will try something, paint with clots, cut baldly (is it a correct word?) and draw and knit and 
do crochet (that's my new thing this week) 
and have fun doing all this, without paying too much attention to the outcome.
but i sometimes will be satisfied enough with the result to give it to a friend.

so that said,
here is the result of todays painting of bare legs.
note for myself, i should have done it on canvas (now it's on paper) - i should have used a clean eraser (the black dirt-marks are all around) and in the future, i should try it with oil paint. NEW THING on the list!
