Thought it Would be Easy…

Like a lot of things in life…jumping into something without enough thought or planning or investigating can turn out to be less fun than first anticipated. Of course we have millions of examples everyday but in this case I just didn’t see it as that big a deal. See, I started out to post one of my drawings or paintings every day for as long as I could. I was thinking a year …give or take a few days for vacations, depressions, health problems and general “I don’t want to do it today” days. I have a lot of art work stored on my computer and once I figured out how to get them into my blog…well I thought I’d be home free and eating ice-cream. Every day for the past couple of weeks I’d go through my archive and try to find something that sort of went along with my thinking at that particular moment. So far so good. But then I felt like I should write something…That drawing looked sort of naked there without a frame or a wall or anything. My drawings take some time…and I usually make up a backstory for the piece. I give the people lives…friends…enemies…problems. I get to know them and… O.K. they talk to me. But ten years later the story gets a little fuzzy…see. So I just write something else. That’s where it all gets a little less easy than I thought it would be. So…I’m learning. I’ll find new ways to post the art work and I’ve decided to concentrate on the stories for the pieces…maybe introduce them and maybe re-introduce them to myself. Hope it works out. Let me know if isn’t.
