been painting since 6:30 this morning- started a new canvas, which is nice, but i'll admit it feels a bit lonely now in my studio without my ladies there to keep me company. i would've loved to keep them around a bit longer but i've gotta keep the art train moving and make space for new things. i've got 6 canvasses going at this point and i'm really pleased with the majority of them. 2 are pretty much "practice" pieces but you never know- could morph in to something worth showing.
and i'm back on track with the whole cleaning, sorting, weeding extravaganza of my home that i started a month ago: round two. the consignment shop ended up being a fairly worthless idea so i'm lugging everything down to the goodwill. i'd rather donate the stuff than suffer some snooty woman critiquing all my lovely things that i'm only getting rid of to make room for myself. jerk.
i hope everyone had a lovely weekend and is excited to start a new week. i sure am. i'm full of caffeine and feeling ready to work hard.
these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.
