At Last!

Well, At Last I am working again! Calligraphy is over, Faux has started and I like all the people and it is JUNE! Whatever the reason, I am now getting productive. I spent 19 hours (7:30AM to 2:30AM) working on my inspiration stuff, putting all the stuff in books, etc. And, I am working on a collage I started a while back. A single arm with hand holding an apple over that xerox of the blue tree I painted with a couple of figures...started out all black and white and grey and I have glazed the hell out of it and ended up with most of the background and the figures buried under layers looking dark and mysterious and the arm and hand and apple I have shadowed and glazed and highlighted and glazed, etc. until they look old and interesting. I am really rather pleased with the result. It kind of looked garrish and tacky when I began, but with enough glazing, all things start looking good in the end. I do not want to be stuck forever in the original sin mode, so I will think on that as I approach the next piece...any kind of box is, after all, a box. My heart has been out of rythm a lot and I am trying new medication and I must be wary to notice if it is making me depressed or unhappy or sapping too much of my energy. I like being on a roll and I don't want to lose momentum as I go. It is all up to me whether or not I remain productive and working or slip back into the fog. I think you have to kiss a lot of fogs to get to the promised land...the promised land, of course, being a state of creative bliss. It does not really matter if I make sense or not, I think...I make sense to myself and that is the key. So, I look forward to the next few weeks and making ART...AT LAST!
