Blogging the zig-zag


Time really flies and I am not having that much fun. Just a little anyway. I feel compelled to express my thoughts in order to organize my actions. I do not really have people or a group of people that I can banter ideas with, or brainstorm, like co-workers in my field of artspertise. I do have my grown children to discuss certain art things with. So that is something. That is helpful. But sometimes I feel incredibly stupid as I plod along with my painting and writing and thinking and wondering....why am I doing this? How can I make money on my portraits? That's not what it's all about but it sure would be a jolt of encouragement to have somebody ask for a portrait and be willing to pay for it. Wow what a novel thought. Then there's all these fantastic ideas I have and all this curriculum I have written. Can't I get some of it completed enough to offer it for publication somewhere.? Like I even know what format to present and where to start the show and tell. It almost seems overwhelming which could be why I am not moving forward in a straight line. I am kind of zigzagging from one project to another. A very insecure person I must be. So that is all I can squeeze out of my flowerful brain tonight. I will try to get back here again soon . Working on a series of Hawaiian snapshots...another series on soft portraits...ie. stuffed animals. I should paint this brainscan in the style of the fauves. that can be yet another project to get jiggy or ziggy with.
