Before I start a drawing or painting I’m always tempted to try a different approach, mainly so I don’t wind up with the same old problems. The drawing can then become chore as I try to recover. My friend, Martin, who comments here often, would tell me to move on to another subject but that is beside the point. I suppose most people would love to be able to just dash off something good, the whole Midas Touch thing, but struggle is big part of the package. “This Ain’t No Picnic” – Minituemen
I get in trouble when I think about approach and I’m usually jolted back to Louise’s father’s advice. “Just put it on the page.”
Margaret Explosion is back at the Little for three months of Wednesdays. We’ll get started a little late tonight, maybe 8 or so because there is an art opening there at 7. I have 15 drawings including then shown above and six paintings on the wall and Sandy is making vegetable hors d’oeuvres.
