I am often surprised to find out later that these "just something" works are usually rather relevant.Schuiverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543740637524420238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22800589.post-1155843131578652972006-08-17T15:32:00.000-04:002006-08-17T15:32:00.000-04:00I just wanted to add that while I'm not painting.....I just wanted to add that while I'm not painting...

I'm thinking about new subjects to paint (the indecision part)after spending two months on the summer/beachy paintings.<BR/>The other reason (my pride kept me from writing this in the original post) is procrastination, which is of course a five syllable word for lazy:)<BR/>I had my sketchbook with me during a ferry ride 4 days ago...spent an hour walking around the boat....I just couldn't seem to find a thing worth drawing...that's what I find scary because there were countless sights and things worth recording. I know at this point what I need is simply to take action and stop thinking. Yet here I am hanging out in cyberspace.<BR/>hmmm.<BR/>...chuckChuck Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794568701559027250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22800589.post-1155803477147892352006-08-17T04:31:00.000-04:002006-08-17T04:31:00.000-04:00Hope you can keep your calm Chuck, it is as you sa...Hope you can keep your calm Chuck, it is as you say probably very normal, even a sign of growth. Doesn't have to be the same as the earlier times it happened.<BR/>Seems to come at a natural moment, after the finishing of the sun-glass serie and the show.<BR/>I hope you can focus on the things in painting that give you joy (perhaps like when you bought the children-sunglasses "just because you had to") and find a way to fit them into your new scheme.<BR/>I don't know - maybe some relaxed pencil sketches done on the way home from work - just for the fun of it?Schuiverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543740637524420238noreply@blogger.com
