Hey paint lovers,

Today, reality dawned. My high from last night seemed to deflate by the hour.

Physical therapy didn't really help my back, which is becoming more painful daily.

Another $500 plus electric bill (we have electric heat).

All of my work spaces, including my studio, look like a madwoman paper piler lives there.

Will I ever learn the many types of acrylics there are? Thick, thin, translucent, opaque, add textures, texture the gesso, is there a perfect knife? I feel like I should be turning out pictures at a much faster rate. Maybe it's time to go back to what I know. NYC II? Another lighthouse?

My head spins with questions.

Tomorrow I give a man from the Guilford Art Society two pictures to hang at a show held in the Guilford Community Center. Lots of traffic, change in one month.

I want to enter two pieces in the Salmagundi Club's juried non-member show.

I am working on a self-portrait for American Artist magazine competition.

So, I guess I'll go to sleep, to build up the energy I need to do everything I want to do.

Live inside hope, (B. Kingsolver)
