It's so easy to get immersed in the work, to the detriment of all of the rest of daily life. Often, I can't wait to get out of the house and over to the studio-leaving behind all manner of chores that I feel could be completed before leaving. But, if my best brain power is to go to the creative side of me, then the dull, boring stuff can wait til later in the day/evening. Unfortunately, by the time I get home in the late afternoon/evening, I'm exhausted and it's maybe my turn to make dinner-or my hubby made it, but then I get to clean up after him (!!). I just want to say that my best time to be writing on this blog is not late at night, and during the day I feel painting takes priority over most everything else.
Some people have trouble painting, but can find time to do allllll kinds of other jobs/chores that keep them from putting paint to canvas, or drawing, or writing, or whatever. I'm kind of the opposite. First thing in the studio, I see the work from the previous day, and attack those glaring mistakes that are clearer after a night's sleep. I'm aware that the web-site needs to be reworked, Insta and FB could probably be updated, etc. Those are constants and I vow to pay more attention in those areas-sometime.
The work is coming along. I have a ton of new work since I last posted. So much that I don't even know where to begin today. I have switched out a few photos on the home page of this blog, and have so much more-both finished and unfinished.
No new exhibits this year-which is another thing that I must apply for and follow up on. My work can be found at Panorama Art in Bergen and I am so grateful to be represented by them.
