Today got away from me. I was running to catch up from the moment the sun came up, and I just never quite made it. I did get some housework done, some artwork done, and I got some sleep, so not a loss of a day. Just felt like I was running behind on stuff all day. Well, I was. I’ve been running behind on things all week. Weeks, actually. When the neck goes out of whack, it seriously slows me down. So now the neck is good, but I’m fatigued and paying for that physically. Hopefully when next week starts, I’ll be all caught up and feeling human at the same time. Won’t that be nice?

I did promise to talk about the canvas I finally finished last night. I’ll get to that after dinner. I did take some natural light photos of the thing outside today, and one of them is bound to have turned out good. But there is a tale to tell about that canvas, and even though I rarely have anything to say about my art (one of those people who think art should stand on it’s own merits and not a story), I’m going to break my personal rule on that this time. I’ve been hauling that thing around for 25 years and “working” on it off and on the whole time, so yes, there’s a long, long story. LOL!

And I pulled out the next canvas I want to declared finished. I suspect there will be a string of things getting finished in pretty rapid succession now. I’ve finally found my way, and now they all make sense. I finally know HOW to finish them. Yippee! After about a decade of floundering around not knowing what to do with the whole art thing, it feels good to have a clue or two. Yup, I am on an artist’s high right now, and I hope it lasts a good long time.

But now, I have to go make dinner. I had french fries for breakfast at some ridiculous hour, butter bread and a slice of turkey for lunch, and now I’m starving for a big meal … and as soon as I get dinner done and eaten, I can write a proper blog post and get back to working on artwork (which is what I really, really want to do).
