Good for the Soul!

Sun Worship 9 x 12 Acrylic
Part of the Solstice Series

There is nothing like a cold winter's day to make me want to sit on the couch bundled up in my snuggie, sipping a cup of steaming hot spiced tea watching a marathon of America's Next Top Model.    And even though we keep the house a nice toasty 68 degrees, I don't want to budge, much less get out in the world and actually try to make a living.  But eventually, feeling a tad guilty, I forced myself to at least go into the studio and do a little painting, I put some food out for the stray kitty cats and now I'm back in front of the t.v. finishing that marathon of ANTM!  I just don't know why some days I can go into the studio and I can create (what I consider) to be a masterpiece, a complete work of art!  And then on other days, like today, nothing comes out right.  Maybe its because I wasn't feeling particularly creative but I forced myself to go into the studio... and that's pretty much what my work looked like.  I guess I shouldn't do that, its just a waste of paint, and I will probably end up painting over today's work and I'll try again when I'm feeling more artistic.  In the meantime, I'll be sitting right here, enjoying the cold snap and the ANTM marathon!  I hope you're doing something equally satisfying and good for the soul!
