I didn't make it to the easel today. Sometimes days just work out that way, despite good intentions. But instead of pining for what I didn't get done, here's what I DID get accomplished:
- Packed three paintings off to new homes and shipped a half dozen to gallerys in New York and Naples
- Invoiced sales and booked new commissions
- Fielded inquiries for new projects
- Draftied an outline for Thursday's cable show interview (I will be on a local cable show which is filming in 2 days)
- Began collecting materials and reviewing my lesson plan for Thursday evening's grownUPs journaling workshop
- Placed a supplies order
- Got a much needed haircut - I've had a ponytail for the last 6 months!!
- Actually took a lunch break and spent an hour reading - gasp! - a non-art book (Gone Girl, for those who must know, and a title I simply cannot put down)
So tomorrow I get to paint all day long. That is, if I can get through enough paperwork tonite. And that might be a stretch, because My Better Half and I are off on a date. And I may have to finish Gone Girl and learn what happens to Amy and Nick......

That sounds like a great day to me. It may sound strange but that is my ideal day. Sometimes I don't have enough of the business side of art to do. This is my failing entirely. I just keep "painting um'. But that is not why I am writing...
ReplyDeleteI am starting a pet portrait of a orange striped cat and I am hoping to channel your spirit and wisdom on this one.
I have the most trouble with black pets and orange ones. But I will figure it out eventually. I will look for the book you recommended . I haven't had a good read in a long time.
As I always say before starting a painting "I'm going in".
Jo, I think I am just the opposite - I would rather paint, paint, paint.....
DeleteI need to be "going in" myself shortly!! :)
thanks so much for commenting!!
