 I feel like I'm peeking out from under the covers wondering if I should actually come

out of this nice warm place.  It's winter, it's cold outside, and I'm trying to motivate

myself to create.  I've done several paintings in bed, and they have all been really great.

Of course, they have only been done in my head, but they're great.

 

OK, so I'll get up, put on a couple of sweaters and run to the studio in the rain and actually

work.  I'll deliver paintings, cards, catch up on correspondence attend meetings and

make commitments for future shows.

 

I don't know why I complain.  I love shuffling through photos, prepping canvases and working

out drawings to get ready to start a painting.  I love what I do and where I work.  There is

nothing better than slopping around in paint and pacing back and forth to get a better look

at a work in progress.  Some pieces will work and please me and some...……….well, gesso and

a large paint brush will take care of anything.

 

It's a new year and a new painting experience.  I'll try new things, discontinue some old things

and see what happens.  Hopefully I'll see some different places and meet some new people.  One

thing about art, you never know where it will take you.
