I've noticed life becoming easier. People are easier to talk to. Life is less struggle and more fun.
Painting is important.
The Artlantis show was a lot of work and stress, and I didn't sell any paintings. I had some good conversations with other artists, some of them struggling to make art again. I'm allowing the feedback I got to influence my paintings, and that is really exciting. Although I did not sell a painting to make the adventure monetarily worth the expense, the feedback is proving to be very useful!
My friend Chrissy (yes, same name) and I started a painting at Artlantis, and I started another one and worked on the Red and Turquoise from Artist Day. It's getting closer to done. They're not dry enough to photograph yet.
And my camera charging cord/dock died. Camera was too old (maybe 5, 6 years!), from when the electronics companies thought it was smart to make a different shaped charging port for every device...so I'll have to borrow or buy a camera. The camera on my HTC Evo won't cut it, even with the 3D on. Has anybody made good photos with that 3D function? Seems useless.
