Whales and Ships and Icebergs

Sometimes when you have multiple, simultaneous deadlines looming, when you feel like you're just not making any visible, satisfying progress anywhere, it's necessary to push all those projects to one side and throw yourself into an extra-curricular exercise. In this case, because I was having trouble finishing a single painting, I decided to make 50 paintings. Possibly in honor of Moby Dick's birthday. I'm thinking I might make them into teatowels, or wrapping paper.

Isn't funny that artists often do their best works when they are meant to be doing something else !.; November 1, 2012 at 5:33 AM

This also makes me think I may be onto something - having just done a LOT of other things than what I was s'posed to do. Happens a lot before I start the actual work - I'm starting to really believe it's part of the process and that I'm not just lazy or a coward.; November 28, 2012 at 5:22 PM

However, filling holes in walls after a game of darts is not fun. First of all, you will need batteries and lots and lots of them for it to work.; April 17, 2015 at 8:22 AM
