trying to get my mojo
Several days since my last post, and I'm still trying to get my energy to a sustainable level. There are many many positive things happening, and I'm mindful of those.
Here are a few images of the last week. The painting is a progress photo of a piece I started last year. It's kind of interesting to note that painting is hard work for me right now...I'm overthinking it. Have you ever not been able to get out of your own way? That's me painting right now...easy solution; paint more. easier said than done.
The sculpture is progress of a sculpture I've been fooling around with for some time. I recently decided this needs to be one of a series of religious icons, reinterpreted, of course...
The last one is a look behind the veil. This is my work table. In person, it looks a little like Frankenstein's Lab, as I may have said before. Parts of bodies, heads, scraps of wax. Wax is a very sustainable material to sculpt in. I save all the scraps and reuse them in another sculpture. I've actually still got two others sitting, almost ready to invest; their status, unfortunately, goes toward that energy issue I've noted.
On that note, I've come back to almost the beginning; easy solution; exercise more. Easier said than done...
For all of these things, I just need to stay on task. Keep one foot moving in front of the other, as a good friend just reminded me. Before too long, I'll be walking. Maybe, just maybe, someday, I'll be running...
