Argh, I hate being sick. I've been coughing like a mad dog for the past couple of weeks and thus been working from home since Tuesday. While that could seem like a good thing, it really isn't, coz I feel like I'm still not in the loop when I'm out of the office (despite being online the whole time). Also, I feel so tired all the time and it feels like cactus is attached to my throat 24/7. I visited a pulmonary specialist yesterday and she says I have respiratory tract infection and post nasal drip. What that means, I dunno, I just know that I need rest and I need to take meds. She says it's common these days, so I shouldn't worry.
The advantages of working from home though is that I have time for other things, like painting. While taking small breaks from calls and status reports, I get to doodle or make some calligraphy stuff or practice doing portraits without violating corporate rules about productivity. It's kind of a stress reliever too, so it's kinda therapeutic.
Yesterday, after going to the doctor, I made a stop to the bookstore to buy some paintbrushes and watercolor. I'm starting to appreciate this medium all of a sudden because of the artists that have inspired me lately. I've been a gouache zealot until recently. I love water color and how you can make different washes and blending styles. It's such a light medium, and I enjoy putting small details to my current piece.
Artsy farts show and tell time!

Making flower patterns using water color. I think I'm gonna use this flower pattern for my first stamping project on February!
Making portraits again. I used to love drawing women's faces, but I need to get back into the groove of shading.
Journal writing to document last Saturday's events--a trip to Sta Mesa to buy cupcake boxes for Sugar Lily.
More encouraging words with calligraphy and water color. I love drawing flowers these days.
Practicing drawing faces. This doesn't look symmetrical haha her eyes are not aligned! T_T
