Let's see today (03.09.10), I wrote 2 paragraphs worth of stuff...one of them went up in an earlier blog. Then I took a long walk in this heavy overcast day. When I got back I intended to sit and write for a while but the petulant child inside of me resisted. She sat in the corner, crossed her arms demanding for something more fun. Well what could I do? I've neglected her for far too long. I scrounged around the studio, found a blank canvas, some paints and brushes. This pic above was the end product. I painted listening to Nine Inch Nails, yes, I'm kicking it old school. I forget how changing things up can help get me out of a stuck place. I feel lighter and brighter for having worked on this piece. The colors are appropriate after such a grey day. Reds and purples took center stage. Tomorrow, I'm going to go out to the large equipment shed and see if I can scavenge some loose canvas. I may be here to write but my spirit is really coming alive as I search for fun things to do. I've forgotten that word in my vocabulary and here I am trying to reclaim it. Or at the very least remember it.
