Today I needed a break from my studio and just felt like being in a hardware store. The hardware store is a place for the lost and people in need of fixing something in their life. What I needed to fix was my sink. Wisconsin water is not up to my standards.I keep having to by filters for my faucet , which break after a a few months, or deal with the white chalky residue in my water. I hate to think what I drink when the filter goes bad.
Maybe I just needed an excuse to enjoy the day. Today was a pretty ,yellow day.In this last picture it looks like the color red is trying to defend itself but yellow is too strong. I love fire hydrants as well lately. I haven’t seen a good work of art about a fire hydrant yet. Maybe I should try and make one. If I ever run away to my cabin in the woods I’m going to make yellow landscape paintings with red fire hydrants. That thought is now part of my 40 yr plan.
Is bad to daydream about new work when old work is not finished? My next thought should have been--Maybe I should finish the drawing that has been consuming my life. I want to finish this thing and send it out into the world.I have to tip toe around it because it is so big. I’m being bullied in my own space by my work. How am I going to get this thing on the wall. I guess that is tomorrows problem. I will be excited to have it up for display soon.
