A Year of Making Art, Day 309: Giving Up My Workaholic Ways

February 22, 2008  Day 309

We had a full day yesterday playing ping-pong and going for a walk with Blixy and the kids.  Then in the evening Laura and Jim took us out to dinner.  It was a good break.

I was also waiting yesterday for a tractor-trailer truck to arrive to pick up a large painting in a box 63" x 63" x 5".  As usual, our road was too icy and the truck could not get up it.  The poor driver parked on the main road, then walked all the way to my studio and carried the box down to the truck!  We have to get a better snow-removal system in our neighborhood.

This morning's drawing is in blues and blacks:

  Drawing #315  12" x 9"

I am not working on Canvas #34 again until I can think of something to do with it.  In the meantime I'm out of canvases, so I have to make some more.

   Canvas #34  48" x 48"

This afternoon I met a friend for lunch and then took a great walk with Laura.  It's wonderful giving up my workaholic ways!

(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
