Chores

I didn't have a stimulating day in the studio today but I am setting up for an exciting day tomorrow. I gessoed two canvases. Whee. But now they are like presents sitting under the tree waiting for me to unwrap them and expose the fabulous painting waiting underneath. Now I have my metaphors a little mixed up. I am giddy with excitement.

I have my sketches for the paintings stacked up behind the blank white rectangles you see in the photo. The paintings won't be exactly like the sketches as I like to leave myself free to take up an new fabulous idea when I encounter one in the course of painting. Also, I will not be the same person I was creating the sketches.

In the meantime, like a child waiting for a special day, I must compose myself for my action-packed day tomorrow
