Geez,haven’t been to this site in a while, but time to set new goals wh
I had my first solo show about six weeks ago, it went pretty well, and I sold some art! wow! I achieved a goal! Here’s a detail from one of the paintings in my show!
i just found a site called codepunk and it has free web tutorials. I can’t afford to get someone else to do it, so I might as well try and learn myself.
and omg the frames aren’t arriving until the 6th, and so I almost bought ugly frames instead, but i decided just to paint the edges of the panels, they’re an inch and a half thick, and wait for the nice frames on tuesday.
live and learn
Today was fine but tonite is shite and sometimes i’m not sure why I bother and wonder what would it be like if everything just turned itself upsidedown.
Xmas eve today and mildly worried about how the scaled back event will go over with the kids tomorrow, too late to worry about that now though!
the snow has made me lose track of days, one bleeds into the next when it’s an endless round of dishes and staring into the white space.
He’s an author “outliers” I havent read it yet, but heard him on the radio, he says 10 000 hours to master something and now I kinda wanna see how long it would take me to rack up 10 000 hours of painting. I started painting about 10 years ago and I’m sure I haven’t done 10000 yet because I took my first art class when my son was 3 months old and my daughter just a year older, I didn’t have much painting time, and it was still just a fascinating new skill, not the focus of my life the way it is now becoming. But still!! I’d say there’s no way I’m past having painted 5000 hours. Therefore, I gotta get painting. And I am going to post my hours in here.
i had a flash of what this has meant to me. It’s the reason I always have to have a role to play, I never feel like just being somewhere is ok, I always have to have some reason to be there. I actively participate in things not necessarily because I want to, but because I need to justify my existence~!
remember Isa and how she just is!
