Some Things Finished:
1) jar of artichoke salad
2) December issue of Smithsonian magazine
3) counting up of art fair receipt books
And even some art.
While prepping a piece for matting and framing I looked down and saw some writing at the bottom.
Three writings from different times:
No, I don't recall the order in which words were scribbled.)
* Making it up as you go along is harder than it looks.
* Some grasp at small straws.
Some dance with the moon.
* Glenn Gould playing Bach.
I love to listen to Glenn Gould play Bach...
Of course the bear and moon will be framed with none of these words visible. But now these sentences will probably be jotted down on the backing paper.
For me words and images frequently dance together, and if one or the other does not get noted immediately, well, POOF!!, gone. Often forever.
So, in addition to the MANY sketchbooks around, there are always small notebooks of various sizes and theme here, too. And if I will be going out to walk or play tennis there is most often several scraps of paper and a Sharpie or other pen in a pocket. Just in case.
Don't let a grand idea or comforting thought escape because you have no way of taking note. Yes, your arm or hand will do in a pinch.
That's the morning's lesson/reminder.
The studio is yelling at me now. Will report back in a couple of Finishing hours.
Remember to write stuff down!
Fare-thee-well,
Sue
