Xmas : slowing things down

Wow.  Xmas is almost here.  Can you believe it ? I'm not ready ! I'm probably going to do most of my xmas shopping the week before, or in my case, since we're celebrating on the 17th, the night before. Yea, that's my style, last minute, but I work best under pressure.  I know a lot of people say that but it's true in my case, I swear.

So as you can see I haven't done much painting in the last 2 weeks.  I have done "stuff", but no painting. But I am making a plan for 2012 when I start my new part time schedule (part time as in one day off a week from my full time paying job).  Wow, a whole day to myself. I am truly jealous of artists that have the means to do this full time and admire the ones that don't but do it anyways.

I wish I had a real studio, so one that's not in my home, but they're hard to find and I can't afford a second rent.  I had applied for these studios a couple of years ago, and last week at the CAO LUCK! event I ran into one of the artists there and she said I must have given them the wrong coordinates because they tried to call me and it was the wrong number and I'll need to reapply. Yeah...ok.  *Cough* *bullshit* *Cough*.

Wow, I hope they don't read my blog.

Am I having a sarcastic day ? No. Just a sarcastic morning... but I can't predict the rest of the day.

Here's a picture of an older piece, don't worry, the new year will bring constant posts of new work.  This one though, is from 2005 ! And it's sitting in someone's house. I wish I could see where all my paintings went.
