Big month ahead. Actually, I have managed to lay a lot of eggs around the lot, and they appear to be bearing some promise. I'm careful to say this because I don't want to jinx it, but if everything goes according to plan, I should find myself in better spirits by the end of the month, or by the end of the year.
I have a three day sabbatical scheduled for the 3rd of April till the 7th in Ilo-ilo. Yeah, I had to pick a sleepy part of the country to re-energize, but at this point I don't really have anyplace else to go that would not require spending a lot of money, because money, naturally, is an issue - always.
But I have no complaints: I've managed to paint 5 pieces, ranging from the 7x5 foot behemoth, to a slightly more tolerable 12" x 18" piece. Such is my life, and such is my lot. I have chosen this path because it may be the only path I know, and that is the brutal truth of the matter.
There can never be amount paintings, art, watercolor, pen & ink, gouache, and pencil drawings I can ever paint, that even if I were doing it for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, will still never be enough.
At least, that is the perception I have with how my wife look at me right now.
