I have an artist friend that is trying to post a painting a day on her website. I want to say she works with a media that allows that - oil pastels and so that is easy. But I just have been feeling too fragmented to give my attention to creating anything of beauty.
Oh, sure, I have done a sketch there and a transfer here. Stretched a new canvas. Plotted out some ideas for the heralded triptych I want to do. But my life has been taken up with depression and worry and getting documents in line for the upcoming court date - January 20th. The real world has taken center stage, and well it should really because if I lose my house then I lose my studio.
But working creatively does relax my spirit and recharge my energy. So my goal is to force myself into the studio this weekend. There will be nothing I can do on the legal list of documents to round up. I have done well this week to fill the holes per my attorney's list. The weather will be sunny and in the 40's so the studio will be light and warm. I began this post today with photograph I want to render in paint. It was in my file of art ideas and I noticed a couple others there that excite me.
Monday I need to go back to the "real world" but I think a weekend creative escape is past due.
Love the photograph. Just think, hundreds of years ago, a native stood in that same passage looking out into the morning light thinking about his day and what needed to be done. Can't wait to see the painting!

Making art this weekend will be good for your soul--(and a well deserved time for yourself!)
