It Must Not Have Been Very Important

   I had a great idea for a blog post. A couple of them in fact. So great there's no way I could forget them. So you might think. I now have no idea what I was gonna say. I suppose that means another stream-of-conscience post. I had an outstanding week, art wise, last week. My hours were cut back at work and my wife and daughter had gone to Tennessee. All I had to do all week was make art and promote myself ( well, outside of the whole eat, sleep, repeat of the real world). I got a lot of my creative and marketing thoughts written down in their respective notebooks. Distilling all that I've learned and read down to a few lines in a notebook. it really helped me to focus on what I need to be doing. I also painted some really cool stuff, like this:

  I call this one "I Am A Stranger". I usually remove the frame before I paint , but I thought I'd try something new. I painted up onto the frame, making it part of the artwork. I also decided to paint over a painting that I wasn't ever really happy with. I started the paint over process and discovered that it was almost done. A few quick touches and I was very happy with it. It also inspired its new name "View Renew" :

  I had some great insights into my work and my process as well. Too bad i didn't think to write them down. Of course it's possible I did write them down and I don't remember where. Ah well, it'll all come back to me some day.
