Post #16 hmm....not much to say

so its a nice, long, not so hot summer and like many of you, I am enjoying a more leisurely way of life these days. Fairly relaxed in general, with not too much of an agenda.

I am in the studio very regularly, and am working on some paintings. However, I thought I would use this summer as an opportunity to explore something new and different for me - a new series of drawings.

So here I am, working on these drawings, which in and of themselves will be complete works of art - and guess what? I am not so sure what's going on with them. They may have potential, or they may just be total crap. The most important thing is i have decided to give myself time to just play around, no agenda, no goal, and see what happens. To step outside of my own comfort zone, and to let my studio time just be as it is, without it necessarily being result oriented.

Of course I am going to ask you to apply this same principle to your life. Imagine approaching your life without an agenda, without a destination, imagine allowing your life to take its own shape - be it better, worse, whatever. No judgement on whatever it may be.

What i am hoping both for life and the art, is that through time and letting things develop as they should, what i need to know will rise to the surface and it will be this that i catch in my little net and examine a bit more closely.

happy summer!
