I can see my desk top !!

Yes - I mean my literal desktop. And the top of my layout table, my tabouret. And things are in actual files now. I think I can maybe get back to painting or researching my next series - on Friday!! YAY!

I'm having a big shift in terms of focus since my Dad's death. Yes, I really am a painter, an artist, and yes, I should continue to engage in my normal [ !!! ] production.

My initial purpose of providing an avenue of joy for people to participate in is - indeed - what I want to engage in. Doesn't sound like " Contemporary Art" thinking but I don't give a flying fuck about that anymore. It doesn't feel like anything I can really get at from my insides - so to speak - so phooey on it I say!

To do your very best with integrity is the best anyone can do. So here we go -again. mmmhmm. Yes.

First time

This - hopefully - is the beginning of sharing thoughts I have about art and painting - and what it is for me to live this life. So welcome. I may not be consistent in my posting, but I will be myself. And the only thoughts I have today are about where to start cleaning my disaster of a studio so I can get back to work in a reasonable manner. Yikes.
