Dismantled
Very interesting thing I notice about this life is that whenever I stagnate and seem unable to progress, life steps in and progresses me. Very considerate, I suppose.. although it never seems that way at the time.
So, I’m moving.
The space smaller and more convenient.. more practical I suspect and less in cost. As I began to prepare for the move today, which begins tomorrow, I feel sharps waves of emotion come on and quietly pass. Truth is, I’ve loved this place. I’ve loved the front yard and the freedom I’ve felt sitting outside observing the changing seasons.
It has truly inspired me to art again. Considering that I hadn’t done much to speak of for nearly a decade, the little creative spurts I’ve experienced (though I have been rather hard on myself per previous posts) are pretty damn great.
This past year has been slightly magical actually.
Going forward to the new place, I’ve decided to work smaller. This afternoon I dismantled all the larger works. They served their purpose for the time as excellent catalysts of change and transformation.. I’ve also decided that working large is a privilege similar to pet ownership.
I have a lot (50+ drawings) of new work in progress that I’ve not been documenting, though once settled a bit, I intend to present them on this blog and in the gallery. They are a continuation of the Abstraction series employing both painting and drawing.
I optimistically believe this change brings me closer to a life of experience, purpose, enlightenment and love.
dig it
Good luck with your move. It can be a daunting task. I hope you have your studio space picked out already in your new place.
Thanks Bobbo! I don’t really have much stuff and planning to get rid of more, so not too daunting. Yes, I have chosen a work space…
I have been retweeting some articles about selling work. I know you must be busy with moving. If you didn’t get them and would like to see them, let me know and I will send them to you. Bob
Great.. thanks!
