Today I brought all my paints from home to the studio.
Yesterday was a day of frustration. Arrived at the studio, began painting after settling in to the space, only to find I had no white, black or blue paint on hand.... how could this be possible? So, today I brought all my paints from home to the studio.
Not to mention, the frustration of moving paint around only to be unhappy with the result.
I have to work smarter not harder. I'm working too hard at this painting thing and need to get back to the place of ease and grace in the creative process.
Now, the issue is - levels of importance.
Projects:
There are the art projects:
and all the subsets of what fall into this category. Too many too list. Which is why I keep track of all the ideas in my art idea book.
There is the looking for work project,
and all the subsets that fall into this category.
Is my resume current?
Do I have my 30 second elevator speech ready?
Do I have my letters of recommendation all set to go?
Do I have all my past work history document set?
Then there is the getting my apartment ready for upcoming family visit project.
Then there is the continual cooking and eating especially well project.
Then there is washing dishes and taking clothes to the laundry mat to wash clothes.
Then there is being in the contemplation of who will I be 15 years from now?
It's fine to live in the present, but, to what extreme? If it hinders who I will be in the future, then there is something to be said about living for the future. Which, currently I am not.
