I feel as though something needs to radically change in my life. I think something needs to radically change in my approach to life. Because I am sick and freaking tired of running around in circles, constantly coming back to this feeling. I’m not doing the things that make me happy. And yet I’m not [...]
Episode 3 – The Episode That Almost Didn’t Happen Another good time was had by all. Although I was wearing my grouchy pants today, it doesn’t really show in the episode. I was feeling so grouchy earlier that I seriously considered canceling. But I figured a little bit of painting would do me good. Next [...]
Today, I get the keys to my new apartment. Eeeee! I am so happy, there are no words for it! I get studio space with a window. My current studio is lacking one and with the oil paint fumes, it’s probably not so great for my poor brain cells. But this new space…oooh, I can [...]
I am completely pooped. My brain is no longer functioning. All I’m getting is a message telling me to leave one after the tone. Nothing left for writing tonight. Instead (in case you missed it on Tuesday) watch me paint live for an hour. It’s actually pretty interesting, and the painting makes a lot of [...]
Last week, January 14th happened and I missed it completely. I’m shocked, pleased, all manner of things. Mostly happy. It got lost in the flurry of finding my gorgeous new apartment and planning the move. Compared to 4 years ago, this is a miracle. What are you talking about, Sarah? January 14th, 2001 was the [...]
I’m learning I have none. I know that drawing and observation is one of my weaknesses in my art. I decided that this year, I’d get on top of that. Kimon Nicolaides book “The Natural Way to Draw” is one of the classics, and by the end of it, you’ve done 375 hours of drawing. [...]
A few days ago, I discussed being overwhelmed by the stuff going on this week. Now that things have been finalized, I feel like I’m able to discuss them a little more. It seems that in 2 weeks, I’m moving. Yes, twice in six months. No, I’m pretty sure I’m not insane, but then the [...]
So the debut episode of “Watching Paint Dry”, my new live painting show, went absurdly well. I had so much fun, it’s ridiculous. A couple of discoveries about myself: 1. I really love being on “TV”. Turns out, I’m a shameless exhibitionist with absolutely no trouble talking to an empty room. Who knew. 2. I [...]
The past 24 hours have been kind of nuts. Just one of those days where everything happens at once and new things come up and you need to re-evaluate because where you thought you were going has disappeared and you need to formulate a new plan. Cool. I’m down with the doing things – I [...]
Now you can do it every week. Starting next Tuesday at 1pm EST, I’ll be broadcasting live from my living room as I work on my latest paintings in progress. “Watching Paint Dry – In the studio with Sarah Marie Lacy” Yes, I named it “Watching Paint Dry“. I thought it was ironic and lame, [...]
