11.3.08 - 64/365

in the studio
i am not very happy about the amount of stuff in my studio right now
there is just way too much of it

the bottom line is
i make a ton of work
and i am not sure how to deal with it

i have boxes of negatives
and contact sheets

i have boxes of drawings
and pieces of drawings

i have tons of paint
including some tubes that were my father's as a teenager

i have framed work
i have work on panels
i have work on stretchers
i have work taken off stretchers and rolled

i have boxes and boxes
of my daily watercolor journals

i have all the jewelry i made
and the supplies used to make it


and it's all in the middle of my painting space....


two views,
minutes apart
idealistic vs realistic
sometimes...


it might be time to let go of some things

i think you look great
a real gata
(
i hate to hear
"you look wonderful
for your age" :)
)

letting go is a lifetime exercise
the more i think i have already
let
more things show up in order to be left
detachment the spirit way
