Even though the week has been extremely tough, today was actually a breath of fresh air.
My "real job" partner and art buddy, Randy, and I spent the afternoon together running some errands and eating a bite of lunch.
It was just nice, for a change, to be "art" pals instead of business partners. We talked about the projects we were working on, the ways that we might market ourselves better and then just general conversation.
Today was like a play day and I think we both enjoyed it.
Tonight I decided to start another painting and this one will be like nothing I've ever done before. I'm going to try to do a nude figure. My talant lies in the contemporary and not the realistic, so this will be quite a challenge.
I've discovered that this is going to take a looooong time to do and before I get too frustrated at the lack of progress I'm making tonight, I think I'm going to quit. Tomorrow is another day.
I read something this morning that I want to share with those of you who read my blog.....
"THE SMARTEST WAY TO COMPETE IS NOT AGAINST OTHERS, BUT AGAINST YOURSELF."
I never quite thought of things in that light, but it makes perfect sense to me and I might just start following that thought.
Well, it's late....I'm tired....the laundry is done so I'm going to bed.
