Head desk..

What is it about Corel painter x which makes me try it for like 5 min and then run back screaming to Photoshop? Is it the choices? All the brushes? What is it??All I can manage to do in it is make a puddle of mud and I get all twitchy. Do I just paint wrong? It makes me wonder all the time. Seriously Painter X is my arch nemesis. EVIL EVIL EVIL. I am sure it doesn't help that I want to be able to paint like Nene Thomas like yesterday.... HAAHAHA a girl can dream can't she?

So today I am still feeling pretty uninspired so I am fiddling with a digital piece that has been kicking around forever. I want to do a traditional piece next, but I totally lack focus. I think I have AADD (art attention deficit disorder) I always seem to agree to too much, get overwhelmed and shut down. I never learn, I never change, I am guessing there is a sick little part of me that likes to suffer. Lots to do. Johnnie is overloaded at work so I lost him as a helper for the week. Things are about to get interesting I feel.

There are so many pieces I WANT to do and paint, I just can't seem to get them out so they sit there gnawing at the inside of my skull. Part of me doesn't want to paint because I have originals sitting around unloved. I really need to just auction them off. I will get around to it someday I am sure. My Mr Printy still isn't working. I think he may have died, which makes me sad because it is SO expensive to get another one. Who knew the move to glossy prints would be such a total pain in the butt!!!

I AM looking forward to this weekend!!! Yay for girlie head tilt weekend with booze and vampires and fun!! Is it Friday yet???

I hope everyone is having a great day and hopefully I will have a more fun post tomorrow.
