bernie worked overtime so we are stocking up.... (potatoes weren't ready tuesday so next tuesday for them)
sausage on sale tomorrow....we'll get about 10# and that will hold us through to the next sale
odds and ends
i am restless, the weather has been so glorious, i want to go out...i want to pick apples and pumpkins and rake leaves.....
none of which i can actually do
i would love to take the ducks on a walk as well.......
or go horseback riding
oye
meanwhile, i am continuing painting the chicken series..
and doing a lot of thinking about my work
i wonder if other artists go through this.....? i go back and forth about what i do.. i work daily, for the most part, i work hard, i push my limits .....but i don't push the envelope i think..... what really does what i do mean,? if anything?
what is the point?
the only thing you could say about what i do is that i treat the every day, common images of life as portraits..... (i painted every damn kernel of that indian corn as if it was it's own individual portrait....took forever)
so in the end what does it really matter?
i also am considering the gouache on black..... i guess i am going to have to revisit it
as well as the other backgrounds- probably with seasonal things
and i am so going to have to figure a way to get some of what i need for models....i guess holly for winter? oranges? nuts?
anyway i wonder about the worth of what i do, even while i can't stop doing it
so there you go.....
part of today's musings on life
