So, for the first time in awhile, I tried to work on a painting that I started a few weeks ago. The painting was initially created in gouche, which is a medium I’m not very accustomed to. Things were going fairly well, though. Then, I attempted to use acrylics because I can’t paint in oils in this space. It went wrong. I’m guessing it’s because acrylics tend to make me less...

In addition to the book in the previous entry, this one is also coming in the mail :)
Busy day today.
So I think I am in need of finding a decent scanner. I have some sketches that I wanted to put up. Unfortunately, they were never daily. This is something I want to remedy. The truth holds: Life just makes more sense when there’s art in it.
Write me angry messages if I do not post often. :)
Also, I really want this Michelangelo book filled with his beautiful, beautiful sketches:

Archive II - Group Exhibition Opening and Catalog...
I’m thrilled to say that the opening at the Alfa Art Gallery last night went very well. As my first opening with the gallery as curator, I felt really glad to have taken the job. There were a lot of great people to talk to, which included artists, old friends, and new acquaintances. I can only hope that the presentation will get easier, though. Talking about 22 artists in one breath was...
I tried to paint tonight. Quite unsuccessfully. So unsuccessfully, in fact, that I thought it was not worth putting a photo with this update. Le sigh. I feel as though there’s a giant imbalance in my life. I really miss painting with long periods of time to dedicate myself to it, like an entire day. I also miss being alone in the house.
I hope that, yes, soon, after October 18, life will...

So, life moves on. A lot of things have happened in the last few weeks, both in and outside of my mind. Conversations have been captivating and interesting. I have been so busy I haven’t had much time to paint, but I expanded my studio. So it looks like this.
There are two corners of the room that have other people’s stuff in it, but the rest of the room has been cardboarded! :)

I am consistently inconsistent.
I wrote to myself earlier about what I should do. What would my next painting be? Should I finish an old one? Should I continue the one I started before I left for the Philippines? Should I…
What?
I’m not sure. All I know if that I have to buy some expensive solvents if I want to be fair to progress. I need to buy some artists tape. Mostly, all I know is that, for the first time...
