Wow, I’m sick of the cold and wet. I miss winters like we used to have. Where there was snow all winter and then it melted. Not snow, then melt, rain, snow, then melt, rain and so on. Anyways. Other than this weekend the weather seems to be changing or the better and I’m starting to become more inspired and ambitious. How are you feeling?

That’s not to say I’m not still plugging away in the studio, keeping folks stocked, like Rise in Cumberland.

Whenever I am having a hard time in the studio I think about this Chuck Close quote. “Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightening to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself.” I’m not saying that I 100% agree with everything it says, but, it aint far from the truth.

So I’ve been focusing on the process, trying to keep on progressing and making good work. Even when I don’t want to haha.
