Moving things around in the studio is, according to mood:
1. Destructive.
2. Invigorating.
3. Hair Pulling.
4. Renewing.
5. Baffling.
I find I don't really need to buy new hanging apparatus as there are three under the table, several on the flat file, and many amongst the cockroach wings and legs in the corners. I know....gross.
I find I have more supplies than I would have guessed....and most are not dried up
.
I find many artifacts of nature once or twice used in still life or intended for such, most are dried up.
I find brushes, long fossilized, that I could never throw away because they might be useful someday.
I also find objects that look like they belong to something. I have to keep them in case I figure it out someday.
I finally shove most of it back into drawers and behind other things and go back to painting. I was just procrastinating anyway.
Can you relate? Peace.

About Me
- Gail Siptak
- I am living and painting in the little town of Houston. A far way from my San Francisco beginnings. I paint what I see of the human condition, be it human, animal or object. The glimmer of humor, pathos, and spirit in so much of what I see is the basis of what I paint.
A perfect little story of the studio. I was curious about the hanging apparatus, and what is it? xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI do so relate, but at the moment I'm not painting because I need to clear up the studio and not clearing up the studio because I need to paint.
