Day 4: The art of delaying

Took me forever to complete
the hand and spear (The Yellow
Guard)

I remember when I use to whip out a painting or a drawing or two in no time at all. Those were the days. I would hole up in the art room, absorbed in the canvas, the paints, the music - there was definitely music - and melded all together created this concentrating atmosphere. As I reflect, I wonder what chemical reaction was happening in my brain to create that utter abandonment to the creative chase?

I miss those days. I am undecided as to my slow progress of completing projects. I must admit though, I am more aware of the style I invest into the piece, and the attention to detail. There is definite deliberation going on. Maybe I can chalk it up to the maturity of becoming an artist - becoming calculated.

Today was a good day with regards to accomplishing the to do list. Yes, I started creating a daily to do list. A list I know that I can accomplish and is within my means of completing.  I read over this art business template I downloaded eons ago, set up Photoshop on the PC, reviewed the Coursera class I'm starting next week, and lastly, worked on The Yellow Guard.

Tomorrow's a new day and a new canvas. Cheers!
