Pants are extinguished...officially. YAY! I did manage to squeeze some time in to art! It felt really good. I didn't get a whole lot of time, but enough where I felt that "ahhhhh" moment of relief. My noggin' is starting to get on straight despite the insane busy weeks' that have no end in sight. Yet. Soon? Perhaps. Either way, I am planning on doing some arting today after this blog? Will try after my workout, but usually my arms are too goopy to do anything...Still that's another NEED...just like arting...I NEED that working out. Good for mind, body and what shredded, tattered soul I have left.
For arting I do have some ideas, although, the session I had yesterday was just letting the canvas talk. It was more abstract than surrealism...and that's cool with me. As I've said time and time again in this blog, I don't want to be a one trick pony. I want to be versatile...but the number one thing, is I want to be happy doing what I'm doing. I was happy abstracting. I'm not sure what I'll be happy doing today. All I know is that I have to go from the passion not the trends, not the what is going to get the most likes. Honestly, I think this blog is more "popular" than my arting is. I'm okay with that. I do love to write...never thought I'd say/type that. Being how self-conscious I was at the beginning of it. Granted, you minions are pretty silent on the comments...so I'm really not sure. While I care, I can't obsess about things like that...I need to obsess about creating. It's either here nor there, but I'll tell you a little secret, it's really hard not to get trapped into the numbers, trends, etc. of the arting stuff. It's such an easy trap to fall into and not even know it. Thankfully, I have the peanut gallery to show me when I've strayed from the important part, arting. Don't know what I'd do without him, on many levels...okay there is the mushy stuff out of the way...
Adulting life has been very adulty...but I've been handling it. I plan on doing a lot of arting this week...and it's still looking promising. I just have to focus and stay away from the "shiny's" that distract me. I've recently stumbled on YouTubers...specifically Rob Dyke and Matthew Santoro...they are WOW and funny and creepy and inspiring, but also I find myself binge watching, which means no arting. It makes me want to become a YouTuber except the camera absolutely hates me and I don't know squat about video editing. Again, I don't think you can learn how to be photogenic...it goes back to my Vlog obsession. Shake it off, shake it off...For sure check them out, they are really funny, creepy (sometimes) and just pure entertaining.
On that way off the course note, minions...I will leave you with mild eye strain and the knowing that I'm arting! Woohoo! I will see you all probably on Monday, unless something big happens, then I'll do a Friday blog. I'm not expecting anything huge to happen. Which is fine by me. I need some boring back in my life...I never thought I'd be wishing for that...until next time, minions...I bid you an adieu.
