ART, MY WAY!!!!!!

I think every artist, of whatever stripe has a certain way they like to work.  Heck, maybe they don't even like "their way."  I know I don't particularly like mine, but I find it's the only way I can do it.  So, here's what I do:  I have these great bursts of energy and produce several pieces and then I hibernate.  I can't even look at art, and, then, I'm back at it again.  I would much rather get up at the same time every day, trudge down to the studio, produce my 2.5 pieces of art on schedule, and do it again the next day.  FLASH OF INSIGHT HERE:  Maybe this comes from working all my life  on someone else's predetermined schedule.  We're almost on a schedule from the time we are born.  To deviate from that is an act of treason and it's down right un-American.  I mean who do we artists think we are that we can sleep in, stay up all  hours of the night, eat whenever we want to, produce our art, thumb our collective noses at convention.  Sounds suspiciously like retirement to me!!!!! 

What's the point of all this, you say.  I'm finding myself making "art" into a job and I don't like it.  Some changes are in order (surprise) and to be announced later.  I've had a productive and insightful few months and am looking in a new direction.  The girls at Hang It Up Gallery  and I are cooking up something interesting for our patrons and followers, and we'll be letting you know about it.  Otherwise, it's 10:30 in the morning and I'm going back to bed!!!!!  See ya later!!!!!
