I try to make a painting every day, like a journal entry. I post them on Facebook for my friends and also on the blog, hellomonalisa.com The paintings have become a narrative to what's going on in my family, maybe our pets, my economically challenged neighborhood, and the general malfunction of my body and mind. Most of the recent paintings are done on my Ipad. Initially this was a foreign way to make images and I missed the smell and texture of real paint. But the great thing about the Ipad is you can paint in bed and not mess up the sheets. Also, you can paint in the dark.
