WIP
#coronadaze #quarantini
Bored with catching up on all the TV shows lately, been sitting in silence a lot, watching out the window, reading, painting, studying, researching, learning, watching birds, watching weather, walking the dog, cooking, drinking, dancing, cutting, pasting, printing, imagining a lot to try and make progress, many layers, processes into so many #WIPs lying around neglected, but not forgotten ...
You get these bursts of ideas and get them going and then you get distracted with other real life things and get frozen sometimes, especially with abstract art when you get them to a place where you are afraid to go any further ... Even though its all abstract, its still intentional. Even though you don’t have a plan with abstract expression, you have ideas and concepts and emotions you want to bring through somehow.
You have to study them, but be fearless and some point let them go to where ever they are going. You have to be brave and diligent and consistent to let them all go till they are content to be done. Then you stare at them again and never really feel they are done, but you let them go again. Its embarrassing how weird they are most times, but at the same time, very joyous. There’s been so much to think about through #Coronadaze #Quarantini.
Enjoying having the time and solitude and energy to continue exploring and discovering with no end game to plan or count on. No Exhibit to prepare for. No Hangs or Strikes to deal with. Purely creative intent is happening and I am starting to get into a groove. Its terrifying and liberating at the same time. Bits and pieces are everywhere daring me to keep them alive and put them where they belong somehow. Like puzzles. Some of the much that is scattered all around right now ... Still working up to larger pieces. Getting there ...
Excited about the direction its all taking, feeling like they have all been waiting to show up until now, during this crazy crazy time ... like this crazy crazy time ...
