at this moment i've got sixteen current painting projects. three are
are finished and i'm just waiting for the checks. four are started and
in various stages of completion. four are commissions i haven't
started yet. and five are ideas i have sketched up but haven't started
yet, two of which a friend has called first dibs for. today i am drawing off and cutting stencils for two. i'm also stopping
off to get another canvas this afternoon on the way home. so possibly
tomorrow i'll have two to be working on here. as soon as i get a check
for one of the finished ones i'll buy two more canvases to knock out
the others that are already in motion. this is the kinda chaos i like, a whirlwind of swirling paint and
ideas that rattle around the inside of my skull at all hours. my eyes
feel like sandpaper and when i blink, i'm afraid i'll get jumped by
the nap i desperately need. but really, lack of sleep is a small price
to pay when the muse is having her way with me. right now, i feel a sort of contentment. sure, things aren't perfect
in my life, but times like this are when i feel the most like me. sometimes, in the quiet, i forget who i am.
