i thought it seemed like a long time since i had updated, but maybe not. i have been living internally and sometimes the time passes differently then. like. what day *is* it? this weekend i decided to drag the big paintings upstairs and re-work/finish them. after over 2 years, i still have feelings for them and want them completed. there are layers and layers of work in them and i like that. but now i am covering most of it up and “purifying” them. i am most interested in pale layers and rich textures (visually - but smooth surfaces - and not too grungy) and somewhat surreal imagery and text. it is the hardest thing in the world to accomplish. (for me) but i have been trying. i do notice that it takes time away from making small marketable items to post on etsy. but last night i began altering some polaroids. turning them into valentines. i don’t like the first ones, but there are better ones in my head and if they work out, then i will show and list tonight. we’ll see… i am feeling very very tired and lethargic, physically, although there is much mental and creative activity going on inside. i am also always hungry. that’s weird.
