Why are you painting and not cleaning? Or petting me?

I don't remember who it was that said, in a video, why do we all treat paint as if it's precious? "Oh, I can't use too much of that Golden Fluid, it's expensive." Well, it is expensive. But what good does it do sitting in a bottle and not being used? Yesterday the paint was flying again, and I went through a lot of black and white. Ya know what? I don't care. That is why I bought it to begin with. Some of my small Golden acrylics are 6 or 7 years old. They can get too thick, so yep, using it all up.

Side note, I don't like Golden in journals or on a gel plate. It has more stickiness to it, and your journal pages will glue themselves together if you don't apply wax to every single inch. So for art journaling I use craft paint that is a mat finish. Like Apple Barrel, or Folk Art.

Going to be hot and humid this weekend. A great time to hunker down in the art studio. That reminds me: for a daily smile, if you are on Instagram you might want to follow @thelesliejordan. His normal greeting is "Well, shit, how ya 'all doing?
