Time marches on.
Month 6 complete.
Month 6 complete... well not really but I'm calling it. I don't have the energy at the moment to do much more and I'm not sure what I would do if I did. More to come on this but for now it's done. It's hard for me to accept but sometimes you have to leave things as they are and move on. Look for updates in the not too distant future.
Month 6, Day 30
Only 30 days in September. I could of used they extra day so I'm giving myself one more day let's see what I do with it.
Month 6, Day 29
Here is where this is at. That is all I have to say about that.
Month 6, Day 28
No sense of time on this piece. Feels like I just started, needs to be done in a few days. Too much stuff to do in the meantime.
Month 6, Day 27
I live a life of deadlines. Many of them are self imposed but not all of them. I'm not sure which trouble me more. They can have a strange effect on you over time. It is something I often consider as I continue the whatever task happens to be at hand. Working.
Month 7, Day 26
So six month into this project working on 48" x 36" wood panels set up on an easel I built just for the purpose I have conclusively realized I don't like working on easels. When I'm in the studio I prefer to work on flat surface slightly tilted surface. So... I have set up another drawing table only for drawing and possibly brush work but no spray anything. This is an excellent development.
Month 6, Day 25
Making marks, if you make enough of them in the right places it just might look like something.
Month 6, Day 24
Hung up on the details.
Month 6, Day 23
Handles.
Month 6, Day 22
Learn to love the process of things. Have I said this before? I would be surprised if I did not in some capacity repeat myself, often. I would be quick to say in my own defense that such repetition was not so much the lack of any new ideas or discoveries but rather the sad human capacity for forgetting things once learned and then in unknowing bliss learning them again too much self-congratulation. This is how I feel when remember things I already knew just before I remember that I already knew them and soon followed by a new resolve to not forget again.
Month 6, Day 21
It's been pretty slow going lately with the end of the month closing in. This project has been nothing like the previous two. It feels a little like walking through like a desert. Not that I've walked through a desert but metaphorically speaking it sounds about right.
Month 6, Day 20
Hands appear a lot in my work. Once something I avoided because of there difficulty to get right now I don't think twice about it.
Month 6, Day 19
One of those days where you get lots of things done but none of those things are what you wanted to get done and now your too tired.
Month 6, Day 18
Making time for this.
Month 6, Day 17
Making my way along with this a little at a time.
Month 6, Day 16
It's interesting to think of the much younger version of me who accidentally locked himself in a locker in the middle of the school day. The plan was to climb inside and then jump out at the appropriate time and surprise someone but once inside the door jammed and I couldn't get out. What happened next is unclear, certainly panic, there must have been some shouts for help. How did they know to come get me otherwise?
Month 6, Day 15
Next steps.
Month 6, Day 14
This has been pretty satisfying in a understated kind of way. Creating inanimate objects is always very relaxing for me.
Month 6, Day 13
Working.
