finishing...

i don't do formal new years resolutions......
but i do switch gears now from gardener to artist......
as the holiday bits and bobs get tucked away,
the junk from 2010 hidden...

my studio cleared of all unessentials.
blank canvases waiting.
older paintings too, that i will be revisiting and finishing.


paintings, that i told my songwriter friend, were "my bad paintings".
he told me something that really struck a chord with me.......




he said,
"they aren't BAD paintings,
they just aren't FINISHED."




a good way to look at life in general,
i think.
perhaps something you have deemed "bad"
is not bad at all....
but just "not finished"?
mmmmmmm
jjjjjj
i look forward to
finishing lots of things in the new year.
how about you??
mmmm
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
