Still down and out, but I’ve been trying to work a bit to get my mind off of shit.
Thoughts
Not a Hack
I haven’t mentioned this bit of news yet – I didn’t want to jinx it…then I realized that I don’t believe in that sort of stuff, so here goes:
I was nominated for a FOCA Fellowship a couple months ago. I won’t know if I will have won until November, but just being nominated is a pretty huge honor. Each year, three artists are awarded the fellowship from a pool of 50, but I believe this year the pool is only 30. I’m not sure if that makes my chances better or if they are handing out one less award, or what. Regardless, I am still honored. If I so happened to get it, I will be surprised and floored, humbled, and very fortunate indeed.
Ta Dah!
This painting is finally finished! I finished it a couple days ago actually, but I’ve had my head up, I mean in, other things lately.
New and Frustrating
Today I finally got back to painting. I’m happy about that. It’s been a very long time. And we also installed a brand new air conditioning unit in the little window in my studio over the weekend! Woo hoo!
Disarray
I never thought there would come a day where I would be swapping out my drums for something like air conditioning, but that’s exactly what I have decided to do.
