October 24, 2007 Day 188
I'm back to greens and blues in today's drawing. The design felt a bit static with not enough focus. I may keep working on it.
Drawing #193 12" x 9"
Someone made an appointment to visit my studio this afternoon, but her husband called and said she was having car trouble and would have to reschedule. Then a few minutes ago, the client who couldn't make up his mind about which painting to buy called and said he's coming over tonight to get one.
I would like to have my studio back to "painting mode," which is a lot different than I have it for visitors.
Last night at our bipolar support group meeting, it became clear that for us Ithacans, exercise, especially outdoors, is a big part of how we stay stable. A new member from the city felt out of sorts here. She could imagine walking for hours in Manhattan, but not in the woods.
I just had a wonderfully brisk walk with a neighbor this afternoon over colorful trails of wet leaves. I couldn't imagine living without that.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
