For this piece, I wanted to bring back some narrative and share what I've been feeling and thinking lately. I've tried to ignore my feelings of isolation in public places, and alienation in our culture in terms of my gender, but decided that it is worth sharing in this form. I feel very revealed, but at the same time, I don't want it to be a concrete "this is the way you should read it" type of narrative. I hope that it allows for the viewer's individual experiences to influence it's content.
Today I will be applying gesso on some more paper to get ready for oil painting. I should have done this yesterday, but after waking up so early and working, I couldn't do much but sleep when I arrived back home.
As for the 100 works goal, I'm not too far behind. I'm about to begin on #15 for the year. I slipped a little over the past couple of weeks. I have 286 more days to create 85 more works. Looking at it in terms of days makes me realize that it is completely possible.
This is the first day of Spring - a rejuvenation after a long winter. I'm ready for it, aren't you?
Love to all, and thank you so very much for reading and allowing me to share my work with you.
