If I knew how to add music to this, you would be hearing Kate Bush vi-o-lin vi-o-lin…
I am on intimate terms with my violin now and she is at last singing to me. Not that I’m performance ready, but it sure feels good to get to know the instrument and interesting how sensitive it is and I am thrilled to have finally reached the point where I can make pretty music predictably. I always want to be practicing.
Needless to say the painting is slow right now. Something new is in the works and I’m thinking of abandoning the cherries and perhaps all still lifes for a bit. Lots of business tasks to tend to this time of year, so it’s a natural time for percolating ideas more than painting. But as I long for the freedom of summer, I am thinking of doing some very loose paintings for a change. I’m itching to get the car painted but still playing with ideas for that. In the meantime I need to file taxes, make mobiles for EurekanArt, check on print and card inventory and restock, gather supplies for upcoming events, make cards, come up with a summer schedule for classes to hold in the studio, and update my website. I’ve enjoyed two consecutive weekends with visiting friends with no photos to show for it. I can say the fire was awesome, the karaoke outrageously fun with surprises, and I think I got a great workout just by laughing.
