Our son awoke us at 5 am. Something about the cats screaming. I got up and both of them came running. No damage. I wish I could go back to bed and sleep but at my age, those days have passed. I took my wife out for a drink and snack to one of the restaurants where they hang my paintings. I had to reprice a couple. We had to "share" and appetizer. My loving wife is a food nazi.
I have 3 or 4 paintings started. I am out of room in my garage studio. I hope the weather is nice this afternoon as I need to move outdoors to paint. But if the wind blows it blows the dirt too. I am excited about where my new work is taking me. I am experimenting with new materials and mediums. I also have two more traditional works on the sketch pad... I am frustrated with sales, yet excited about new work...
Georgia O'Keeffe said what drove her to paint was that each painting was not perfect or what she wanted so she no sooner finished a work then she had to start a new one. She's right, very seldom do I feel I got it right so I start a new one immediately.
The waitress at the restaurant said someone was interested in buying one of the paintings at the "Range Cafe." Hope so, been a dry spell on art sales.
Typical Sunday morning, I'll have to cook breakfast soon. When my son gets hungry he has little patience. He was after all a starving boy from Africa. Then I'll watch Sunday Morning with Charles Karalt or is it Osgood now. Then we'll go to church. I have to clean the chicken coop today. We need to put out tomatoes. Last year I waited too long and the night before the first freeze we picked 30 pounds of green tomatoes. the large ones I fried, the smaller hard ones I canned. I love pickled green tomato relish. Took out a second mortgage yesterday and bought a chuck roast for Sunday dinner, slow roast with leeks, onions, celery, carrots, potatoes... mmmm I hope I get some painting done today!
