crunch time...

sorta took a little break from all things internet today. i get sucked in way too easily sometimes. i get lost looking at all the sparkling brilliance of the world and then when i finally pick my head up and look at the clock, HOURS have passed. and i've just got too much to do this week. i'm really trying hard to pull 2 of my canvasses together and call them done by the end of the weekend and that's a hell of a lot of work to be done. they're both in the home stretch but, without a dedicated, daily effort, that home stretch can span weeks. and after receiving two rejection letters back to back (one, i knew to expect and wasn't upset at all by it. the other was quite the shock and led to a tear-filled, self-loathing couple of days. someone call the wha-mbulance!), i feel the need to really turn the fire up and paint as if my life depends upon it... and in a lot of ways, it does. you don't work, you don't eat. and so i'm off to keep painting. there's still a couple of hours of light left in the day. i need to use them wisely.
