Painting Again!

Well, maybe not. At least I am drawing, which is the first step back.

"Congrats!" you say, "you finally got your studio in order."

Ha hah ahaaaa hahaha hahaha hahahhahhahaaaaaaa!

No. It is just that in the process of doing arts administrivia stuff, I realized that if I don't just paint, whether or not the studio is ready, I will end up with no new works.

Rocket science? Not at all. Yet still easily forgotten. You see, I am wanting to do a New Works pitch. I am sick of talking about the old ones and would like to bore myself and others with new ones, and that means either finding a treasure trove of forgotten older works (and experience has taught me that forgotten works are usually that way for a reason), or by, GASP!, actually creating new ones.

Oh, but the studio isn't ready. What am I to do?

Keilholtz, you used to paint in a single dorm room.

Oh yeah. But what about....

Aw, shuddup. Get to work.

And, speaking of lost works, I have some drawings that are numerous, and pretty good, but not really finished drawings, in that they were not created as final drawings, but as studies for larger works. In the passing of time, some of those larger works projects were dismissed as being one thing or another. As a result I have some pretty decent drawings that will not really be used for anything, and I am thinking of offering them as a one time deal on the blog alone. Sort of a special deal to my readers. I will still run the sales through the being-developed website, but I think it might be better just to offer them here. I don't know. I will think about it. I should have done it last week, since it was the Feast of St. Francis, and there are a lot of St. Francis drawings, but you know how that goes.

There are a lot of things that I should have done last...week, month, year....

Ah, but it is now time to get back to school. Recess is over. The student is having too much fun in unstructured activities. This is not the German way.
