One Day At A Time


Girl In Green Dress

This week has felt so long when usually time feels so short.  I hope all those in isolation are going okay.  We are not isolated but have been asked to keep distance from others so I stay home a lot.  I’m trying not to watch the news today because yesterday it was too much and I wasn’t as sad for myself but for others and what they are going through.  It’s such a hard situation to get used to.  

I worked on this painting this week.  I feel like there are all these people inside me wanting to get out onto the paper and it’s like I have to get out the way and let them come through - I think Jackson Pollock said something like that and it is really true(not comparing myself to Jackson Pollock or anything:)).  It’s like the painting is already there and I just hope I am good enough to make it real on the paper.  I know I am trying to express something through these girls, I just don’t know what.  I think a state of being that I find myself in regularly and that I can’t define or describe adequately in words.   Goodbye till next time.
