Paintings To Build a Room Around
December 30, 2009 by Janice
I have a new assistant! We are busily at work. Making maps and plans and setting all to right. I know he LOOKS a little odd. Not your usual European accented too snobby for you gallery/studio slave, but he was a gift to me. So I took him in.
Never mind those two very efficient keep everything going including food in the fridge assistants to Glenna Goodacre I met in Santa Fe. We are not there yet.
So I will take this charming balancing seal and work with him.
And besides, he is highly entertaining.
And sometimes that is really needed.
Especially when carving out the next year’s painting roster.
When you are planning paintings that rooms are built around.
Or ones that create small sanctuaries.
We need some laughter, when looking at a full year and the many long hours that will go into bringing so much to life, and all that goes with that.
Phew.
A balancing seal looks pretty much dead on right now.
And he’s colorful to boot.
Now if he could just manage the trip to Whole Foods and back…
Ah well, we have Lindt Truffles to tide us over.
And some tea…hm..mine needs warming up…
Sigh.
He’s new yet.
Artist grimaces and heads off to fix more tea.
Staff.
Would be so nice to have.
Don’t you think?
When you are making paintings to build rooms around.
Just saying.
Back to work we go.
He IS very good at balancing that ball.
That could come in handy.
The artist smiles.
And gets back to work.
