: “art life” week in review because I don’t think I ever had that much happen in the same week. “good” or “bad” just part of the process…1) last Sun. Assisted bodypainting for a music video shoot 2) Mon. Got more into collage/mixed media as a way of being “representational” 3) Tues. brought unsold paintings back home from Infusion. Got back home too late to go to figure drawing class 4) anxiety and frustration wins walked out of figure painting class. Came home and started and abstract piece. 5) Thursday continued work on that abstract piece. 6) Friday observing other artists, other techniques. Discovering. Inspired. Knowing I DO belong in the art world. 7) Saturday carried approx. 22 canvas panels and 8 prestretched canvases on foot and on the El to NoLibs. Felt pain in my shoulder, back, and pelvis. Sold a few canvas panels. Glad they all paid in cash. Slept through Saturday night. a new week begins. Sun. Represented Fleisher at Odunde. Observing taking in sunshine, peace and beauty at a mural dedication. Live painted and had Q & A. Received payment from audience donation. 9) various days: Thankful and reminding myself to trust the process. Realize that people are admiring and appreciating what I do and that they feel inspired. Having people tell me that they appreciate the colors and the texture even if they are not able to buy anything is good. That week was like a microcosm of “art life.”
