Re-entry to the real world and returning home after the two weeks at Bennington has been a bit harsh. On Sunday everything came out of the truck and was dropped in the kitchen. Before any chores were tackled, the still a bit tacky canvases and panels needed to be arranged...for drying and visibility in the house. Not only was there laundry to wash and fold, but all of the art materials to sort out and re-organize. Biggest realization: I used a lot of paint. So, based on the adjusted palette of colors and the plans for daily painting, I've inventoried colors and made a good-sized shopping list. And, on the coming-up-fast list: The Monday Night Drawing participants are having a September show at ArtWorks in New Bedford, so I'm also scrambling to get several small watercolors framed. It will be easy to do all these little tasks, soon, but I still have a few weeks of having to be in the office each day.
So, here it is Wednesday afternoon. The laundry is done. I painted Monday night. I painted a bit yesterday. And this morning two painter friends came to the Point to paint and I used watercolor all morning.
I still haven't taken the paint tube inventory, nor have I chosen the figure paintings to be framed, but I've had brushes in my hands each day since getting home. Now, if I can take care of those two chores tonight...
