Absence

My camera and I aren't speaking, nor are the muse and me. I've put them on the shelf for the time being. I try to do art but don't FeeL the art. Am I an artist?? I struggle with this thought now on a daily basis. It's strange. I've done some good work but real life work and other personal things have gotten in the way of creativity. There isn't enough time. I need a 48 hour clock! I get little sleep which is the bane of my existence. It eludes me and I'm just too out of sorts to figure out all the whys. Mucho expensive dental work, colds, laziness, poor self esteem, etc.. I could probably make a list the size of Mt. Rushmore!

So anywayyyy, all my activities here are on hold till I get my act together somehow. And some how could amount to the entire Winter and Spring. Maybe I'll come out of hibernation then. I'll have to if I want to sell ART. I laugh at my efforts at this! It's a waste of time, just a pastime, it seems. I am feeling terribly cynical, low and desperate for sleeeeep. I can't take sleeping pills due to asthma. So for all practical purposes I'm doomed to zombie land in the awake world. When I have something good or of note to say I'll be back. Till then.... ciao my friends.

P.S. Admittedly, my mood is down but I haven't totally stopped writing, just more for myself than for the public. As for Photography, I'm just not finding time for it.

Adding Licenses

Journal Entry: Wed Aug 26, 2009, 4:29 AM




To certain of my photo's I'm adding licenses. It just seems fitting to make the ones I like best less available to the general audience here. I'm concerned with copyright issues sometimes, too. If someone really wanted to take an artists ware I'm sure they could unless it was marked indelibly some way. Even statements of copyright don't stop some. If you don't know they have what's yours how would you know you'd been violated?? Good question. It keeps popping up to mind lately.

I've been busy trying hard to add as much as possible to my gallery all summer. Not a lot of opportunity to due to being ill much of the time. Oh well.

So, if you want to use my work, fine, just give me credit on the finished work and a link back to here. Also, I need a note or email to let me know you will be using anything from this gallery.

As for featuring random artists, I'm at a loss right now, and haven't had time or mind to do any further searching for artists. It's not hard to do just time consuming, which I don't have much of lately.

Thank you!

Muse vs Pain

Journal Entry: Sun Jul 19, 2009, 8:01 AM


Ok, the muse is suffering for her art. The pain to me is real. Wow, I have a toothache! :laughing: I just felt like writing about my tooth and why I can't write because or conversely in spite of it. I write because I enjoy it when the mood strikes. Lately the mood has gotten a tad sober, hopeless and my style is affected. This is a good thing? Physical pain is much harder to write about while it's going on than when it's over. Trying to focus on staying focused, and not losing the writing mood is a bit tough. BUT there is so much I have to say but even more to add to real art. I need to draw more, paint again........... I see so much talent here and so much art its makes me feel I'm way behind myself. So much I want to do!! But there is never enough time, sadly, other priorities. House, health, bills bills bills......... and work. But how can I make art my work when I can't produce enough of it to get noticed, let alone pay bills???? Starving artist syndrome I don't want.

But I'm writing here and there, when there is time and enough focus in me, and so the muse lives on and on.

OH, and I forgot to mention that my toothache is really an abscessed tooth that is going to be worked on come Monday. I hate drills. They are scarey!! *cringes*

Lovely Day

Journal Entry: Sun Jul 12, 2009, 6:29 PM
It was a lovely changeable day here. Sunny mostly, but a bit brisk. I can't talk about art or photography just because I can't seem to get inspired to do any. I drew creepy looking bug yesterday, not at all anatomically correct or lifelike. More abstract that real looking. Ha! Talk about lack of imagination. I guess I've hit the bottom there. Life is so confusing. My thoughts so random and incohesive. What kind of glue do I need to find artist in my soul again and not lose her???
