It’s funny, in a non funny kind of way, how every day has something wonderful and something mundane, something uplifting and something disappointing, something visually beautiful and something uncomfortably dissadent, and all of these mush together into this wonderful hodgepodge that our life is.
Today is a fair example. I heard that an artist I met this summer and admire was trying to reach me and it lifted my spirits. A prescription I was trying to get filled suddenly was. Then I had a creative notion about a new element for a painting I want to try and I got excited. Light came through the leaves of a tree in my yard and illuminated the berries there and dazzled them against the blue sky. I also heard back from a gallery where I had submitted some pieces for a show that they were putting together and all 5 submissions where declined. But the review with picture I wrote for an art box I bought on Amazon was accepted and put up. Isn’t it funny? What a wonderful day, really.
So I decided that instead of disappearing on this website for months at a time and popping in when I have a new painting and insight, maybe each week I’d make a post that was not profound but simply realistic.
Welcome to midweek musings.
