Yeah, so it's back to the grind. I'd much rather stay home and keep painting. The gallery owner was telling me how I should quit my job and paint full time. That making art is like anyother job and to do it well requires your full attention. How incredible would that be, me home painting 24/7. He says you've got to develop a body of work so that collectors take you seriously.

Some wealthy oil guy established a artist residancy in Roswell, NM. There are no obligations, once you are excepted all you are expected to do is live there and make art. It's worth looking into. k

Waking to news of further spread of birdflu among birds in Europe. Lovely. Oh and it's mutating (big suprise) becoming even more deadly to the birds it's infecting. The ravens at the tower of London have been moved indoors. Legend saying that if they disappear, so empire will fall.

I cleaned yesterday. Did tons of laundry. Changed the bed. Cleaned the bathroom. Bathed the dogs. Accomplished days worth of painting. Did I do even one shred, even dot one single frickin' 'i' on paperwork? no. So this mini anxiety attack can find no blame with anyone except myself. Bleh. Oh well.

Hugs to you.
