retro mercury

Mercury is in retrograde, a time that is great for going over work already done, and sorting out old stuff, reuniting with old friends, etc. SO, I am having a blast with old paintings that I never completed because of one reason or another. The energy has changed and ideas come about how to change it up, and renew my enthusiasm for the painting. I have worked on 3 paintings today, attended a basketball game, sorted gobs of old papers and bills, visited my tax lady (twice), went out to eat (twice), returned something to a store (2 things), bought something else at a store (twice). So much for mercury retrograde being a pain in the neck. I kind of like it!

Inspiration returns

Inspiration returns. It seems that I should decide on a style, and paint a bunch of paintings in that style. Well, I can't seem to do that. As soon as I think I have it, I paint something totally different. The hardest part of creating art for me, is to KEEP no preconcieved ideas, and not to resist what comes when you don't know what it is. The inspiration goes if I do not!
