Absence Makes the Heart

Finding God was on my easel for about 60 days, having been painted in little fits and starts. Once I completed it, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do.

Maybe nothing.

Maybe with my attention scattered all over the place, I thought, juggle one less ball?


However, after two days of being confronted by a lifeless skeleton instead of having the visual and emotional companionship of a painting in progress, decision: Gotta do something.

Put up a new canvas! Won't be empty and maybe spill some coffee on it.
That should be inviting!

Spill some coffee on it—way fun idea, Carol!!!

I'm with Carol! Coffee as paint! And your description of an easel as a "lifeless skeleton" hit me hard - whoa. Get a canvas on those bones!

Indeed, can't go traipsing around on the internet naked!

I saw a recipe for coloring your hair with coffee! Haha. Empty canvas calling! What fun!

Coffee hair color … hmm. My studio is also calling to me, nudging me to think about possible rearrangements.
