Working toward the Foreground
I’m home but my head is still in this painting. I started the day at 10am with a bag of cheetos and a Diet Mountain Dew. Every day should start with a nutritious breakfast. I worked till 3pm when the dogs were getting restless so I took them home and zoomed back to continue. They’ve started wanting to go home mid-day which is fine — I need some fresh air and a few minutes away from the painting by that time anyway. I realized it was dark outside at 6:30 and closed down for the day.
On days like this, I’m reminded of the wisdom of having a detached studio. If I worked at home, I’d still be working…..and it wouldn’t be smart. At a point, I’m not as tuned in and really need to stop. Knowing WHEN that is can be KEY.
Now I have proof….
I’ve been feeling somewhat befuddled — slightly askew. It started when I quit making lists and grew worse when I stopped wearing a watch. I’m not complaining - it works for me most of the time. All the same, I’ve been suspecting that I’ve gone off the deep end. At the end of the day today I looked at my work space — and got VISUAL confirmation. A major overhaul may be in the planning - if I have any planning capability left. THIS is what I’ve become.
Considering THIS is what I was, you can see why I’m noticing the askew-ness. This is how I worked a few years ago. Noooo….I’m not going back to this. I couldn’t if I wanted to — but I do need to open up some space, somehow. I can barely move in my little wax slinging cave and when it reaches the point where I can’t get to the refrig for my Diet Mountain Dew….well, panic isn’t too far away.
