What an Artist Might Do in a Day

* Eat breakfast
*Spend a bit too much time on Facebook
* Think about ordering supplies
*Look out at the garden
*Do some of the dishes
*Wash some of the laundry
*Visit the post office while hoping to get a check or two (and no bills)
*Look at the studio
*Listen to TV (Ken Burns' "Jazz" at present
*Start working on show prep list - always a few hours too late
*Try to remember to pack clothes/air mattress/food/camera/art supplies/Thermos/business stuff & ART
*Make another cup of tea
*Look at stack of art magazines (not read - just look)
*Think about pile of stuff on desk
*e-mail or call some customers (maybe)
*VISIT AN EXCELLENT ART SUPPLY STORE (buy 1 white gel pen 'cause the house is already filled with art supplies)
*Promise frames that they WILL be used some day
*Look at too many unfinished pieces of work
*Check weather report for weekend's show
*Put air in van tire
*Mat some new prints
*
*
etc etc etc

Maybe work on a drawing or painting. Maybe. hahahahahahahahahahahaha

On to the next minutes and hours. May yours be going the way you'd wish!
Back to Charlie Parker and Miles Davis -

Next week I will work at the artist part of being an artist. Crossing fingers & knocking wood.

Fare-thee-well,
Sue
