"You have to commit to your work." - Susan Rothenberg
I feel very committed to my work, however, summer is sometimes another story. I just returned from 2 glorious days along the ever-inspiring Lake Superior - visiting friends in Munising and delivering work to a new gallery for me in Grand Marais. Taking time to dip my toes in the lake and get all inspired again by this beautiful land.
So, lately I have been working on re-stocking some galleries for the summer as well as getting psyched to do a large commission for a client of the Bell Street Gallery on Madeline Island. So, lots of irons in the fire right now with my art, and I think I love it and do better when I am busy.
However, I understand the power of play and am definitely taking time off here and there to do just that, but when I am painting, spreading the luscious oil paint in many layers, rubbing, scraping, removing - it truly is all play!!!
Enjoy your summer days....
