Day 15...I see why it is called a challenge. I still agonize over subject matter with ordinary everywhere but I do not see it. But something is working it's way in. I also normally take more than a day to do a painting so this pushes me to think fast, or maybe thing less, and let my knife or brush fly. But the important thing I remind myself is that I am painting every day, thinking about it daily, and becoming my intentional. So day 15, half way there. I feel somewhat like I am back in art school again and not a bad thing. I am getting back into a place I once was but was so overwhelmed for so long with Richard's illness and my loss I could not see that place in me.
Today a little, a very little harvest of cherry tomatoes in a little desert bowl. So much for my little garden as the weather appears to be changing quickly. I can hear Richard. Carol, Carol, you did not fertilize, you did not water, you did not tie them to the stakes...no, Richard, I did none of those things. And you should have been here to do them yourself.
