I am so excited to be painting again. I had started to work on a new art piece just before receiving the news on Alex which put a hold on anything creative. After the good prognosis I am feeling especially positive and creative. I spent Friday at a friend of mine’s art studio painting and that really got the creative juices flowing. I ran around on the weekend gathering and buying additional materials and supplies (duct tape, plastic, stretcher bars, etc.). I will spend this evening working on the final composition/drawing and hope to start the final painting tomorrow evening.
Today’s a day when I feel the internal conflict of the double life. I have to spend the day working on the books, filling orders, answering emails, starting the next newsletter and answering to various shop’s needs when I want to be in the studio painting on either a new fabric line or new art piece. Because the table I draw at is right behind me as I sit at the computer typing, it is so tempting to just turn around and indulge my desires - leaving everything sitting on my desk until tomorrow.
My creativity seems to ebb and flow like the tide. It rushes in and fills me up with all kinds of creative energy and things just seem to flow. Then the tide recedes, leaving behind little remnants of the creative spurt in the sand. And right now, the tide is in.
Have a great day.
