In this artistic life, the unexpected always happens. Both my daughters are grown women each with two children. My oldest daughter has two school aged children, while my younger daughter has a pair of much younger offspring.
However, even after careful planning by my oldest daughter, she informed me at 6am one morning recently that her younger sister, whom had "babysitting duty" that day, texted her, at 2:15am no less, to say that her two children were feeling very much under the weather. Thus came my 6am phone call that started with, "Hey... do you have any plans for today", and eventually led to, "Could you please watch the kids today?" As these situations usually progress, this first day was day one of a four day stint that week.
Grammy duty took precedence over painting. However, be not dismayed. I have once again gained insight into the world of CHILD as well as fantasy land.
Inspirations abound with reorganizing my time and space. I am in a non-existent creative painting part of my cycle. Working with words - word smything if you will - clipping from magazines and creating free form until I can once again catch the wave with the painting muse and discover more of me. While working with scrap-booking magazine, this piece spoke to me...
Beautiful! Now get in your studio and make art!
ReplyDeleteThe force has not been with me...
ReplyDeleteThe muse took a vacation to the British Virgin Islands & forgot to take me...
And my grand daughter stole my magic wand...
Once I conquer the underworld, gain my intrinsic powers of creation, then I shall return to the spectrum with complete abandon.
No - I am not on anything :)
