Organizational Problems
I've gotten myself more organized lately and I've discovered some odd things. I made a list of all the art sites I'm on, the ones where I post my art and try to get discovered. I'm on over twenty of these sites....twenty! How am I supposed to keep current on that many sites? I remembered that I was on one that I hadn't logged into in over three years when I saw my name appear on a tweet on their Twitter account. I suppose I need to just concentrate on five or six of them, but part of me thinks it's possible for me to keep them all going. Fortunately it's a small part of me. I've also found that I have five day planners. I stay busy, but not enough for that many planners. I'm paring them all down and consolidating them into one planner, which I can hopefully keep current with. The more I try to get organized the less I get done. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

A Really Big Show
I had planned on doing some painting today and perhaps taking a nap, but I've got bigger fish to fry. I was asked to provide some art for the walls of a deli that is getting ready to open. 'No problem', I thought to myself, 'I'll grab six or eight paintings and head out.' Well, the deli is going to open Thursday and it turns out that the seating area in the deli is three thousand square feet. It's gonna take a lot of art to cover those walls. Fortunately I have a lot of art. Unfortunately it's gonna take me most of the day to get out all my paintings, sort through them, remove the nudes (it's a family place), make sure they're signed, have finished edges, and have wire on the back so I can hang them. Not difficult work, but tedious. I do get to decide where to hang them, which I enjoy immensely. Should be a very productive day. Maybe I can sneak that nap in later.

The Next Chapter
I've got most of my stuff put away, mostly organized in my studio, feeling pretty good about life. I do need to find room for all my artwork. I had no idea I had so much of it. If anyone wants to buy some, I've got all kinds. I found all kinds of reference photos too. I'm sorting through to find something to paint today. I need to do other things, but painting will keep me from slipping into insane.
