A Day in the Art Life

Sometimes you just know

It is Saturday. Usually, I begin every Saturday by going to Community ITP, which is a great practice of people committed to self-evolving with a mind/body based regime. But this Saturday will be different. I've go the day planned out, nearly to the minute.

I have a lot of great work to do, so I'll be doing it with a sense of focus and joy, if not abandon. The two jobs I'm working on are for the Telluride Blues Festival, and the big piece for the client who does fantastic events. The latter will be populated by no less than 50 characters from his last production, and it's time for me to get it all pencilled out on a 5 feet wide sheet of watercolor paper. Much of it is done, but much of it still needs to be done.

I've already done 45 minutes of work on the Telluride piece, but now that it's appraching the point where it is well under control with all the drawing being done, I need to abandon it for a few days. The second piece will be my priority for the weekend. Oh yes- I promised to paint some doors here too.

So, the day is well planned out. Neither of these two art pieces will have much in the way of improvisation, but when the painting begins, there will be some room for that. I look forward to challengning myself and having fun.
