Yes, I know. I am guilty. I have not been blogging as I had hope to in the past several months. As I sit here at my computer I ask myself, how can I spend so much time at this thing and not blog my thoughts daily… or weekly…. or bi monthly… ((deep sigh here)). It’s not like I have nothing else to do.
Funny thing, I get people asking me about my blog and when will I write more, others ask if I would document more about my life as an artist as they want to see the hard work and want to be in my shoes for a while…. (ok, whatever I suppose, be careful what you wish for!) I cannot even wrap my head around that thought for a second… but heck, I (guess) am flattered that people are interested to see what I do on a regular basis.
When I started the blog, the intent was to dig into my the deep dark cellars of my mind to be able to give some dialog to who I am and why I do what I do, why I create, what are the inspirations and thoughts about why I paint and how they are projected on the canvas. At the beginning, it was great, it was fun, it was an adventure of tossing myself out into the web world and share what I may not think is even remotely interesting. To be able to distill my random thought process into something palatable that people may be able to understand me and my wacky ways. Interesting that my brain is always in the fast lane, thinking, processing and distilling imagery, fearing that all of that fast lane mumbo jumbo may be overwhelming to some, I know it surely is for me!
Back in February of this year, I chronicled “a day in the life”this was a scope of what a random work day was like for me as a gallery owner, entrepreneur, designer, artists, retailer, painter, dog owner, sales clerk etc, etc, etc… and I have to say that that day was absolutely exhausting, to actually have to document my movements throughout the day was excruciating , seemed to make the tasks doubled. I know blogs are supposed to be fun and I am not complaining entirely, but I need to make this interesting so that I am not bored with it.
What I plan to do is be more disciplined about my blogging, perhaps maybe it’s only a thought or some arty tidbit, I will work on this and be a better blogger. I mean… do you really even care if I workout daily, what I am eating, what I am painting, where am I going, what’s on my mind? Perhaps I am listening too much on what everyone wants vs. what I can deliver, so there I go. You will just have to get what I give and that’s that!
So, I will tune into my muse and hopefully the “fog” will burn off and I can see clearly into the blogfilled horizon to provide you with some tasty flavorful arty inspirations.
