I keep saying to myself, "Think! Think! Think!" while trying to come up with a method of concluding my current art project. The problem with having such a scrambled day-to-day life - running errands, driving kids, trying to be creative, running to the dry cleaners - is that I don't have enough time at one sitting to think things through. I think I've made a half-muck (if there is such a thing) of this current project. What was I thinking when I created the image to print out 8-1/2 x 11 inches? It's canvas, not copier paper! But it's been stitched, painted and beaded and I'm running out of time, while my mind has half-baked ideas flipping around like a deck of cards being shuffled.
I spent three hours on the road yesterday driving my son back and forth for his first meeting as an intern for a university professor. Today I'll spend an least an hour and a half with him at the eye doctor (he's a minor still, so I can't ditch him) with a sketch book in my hands. I am desperate for some good juju, a muse, anything to work through this dilemma. Think, think, think some more.
