It felt really nice yesterday to get several hours in the work zone to put some ideas to fruition. I also sorted through some found objects and made a piece on the run without over thinking. These may not be my best pieces but they are starting the stream flowing and allowing more ideas to become real . I was really feeling blocked the last few weeks. The physical exhaustion was not allowing me to think of anything but the task at hand and then when I stopped I only wanted to rest. I have struggled to stay up until 9:00 o'clock since the time change and then putting in all day at a rental property was not helping.
I moved some supplies around and maybe that will help me work. I would really like to work on my creative voice that distinguishes my art as mine. I also want to use some different colors to tweak my work. What I am trying to say is "I WANT TO MAKE SOME ART!"
Reading through this post it appears that the use of "I" is happening. There is a concerted effort in the last sentence to do away the personal pronoun. But these are may thoughts and its not going to work if there is no reference to myself in the first person.
All the creative blogs I read are buzzing about Christmas. I love the season but hate the commercial aspect. The worry over finances, time management and the labor which in my household falls directly on my shoulders are reasons to become irritable. This year is going to be much more laid back. Things may not get done or they may. The first task is lights on the house. The glow of lights defining the silhouette of houses is one of my personal joys. I usually wait and do that last and most years it doesn't get done. One of the reasons is that the bushes need trimming and I feel that needs to be done before the lights go up. This is one of my problems with house cleaning. As I clean I feel the need to change the decor and it becomes a mammoth task instead of simple. I have to change everything in the living room, including some moving of furniture to accommodate the tree.
The big family computer has crashed. We all have laptops but we never setup our printer to be wireless. There are also a lot pictures, forms and information that was not saved. It has been sitting silent since Thanksgiving morning. My husband started the road to doing something about the computer but has found he has less time to himself now that he is retired. He is fielding phone calls about business opportunities all day. There are also a lot of phone calls regarding our need for insurance, changing our cell phone services, setting up corporations, bank accounts, etc....... Somehow the computer will probably become my responsibility. Should I just take control or wait for direction?
