11/18/10 Space Cadet



Today it was kind of difficult to stay on task, but I didn't set out to do a painting of space until I saw the photo on twitter. (below) I'm not talented enough to do the Aurora Borealis justice but it was nonetheless therapeutic. Also it was an appropriate analogy to my mood today. Work was nice however despite consuming caffeine I never reached a state of wakefulness necessary to convince others I wasn't a walking zombie. All I can say is, thank God for makeup. Now home I'm wondering where the time went and was not looking forward to painting but once I started I was once again reminded this is not a chore. I really get something from this and it's hard to put into words, more than therapy, than thought being solidified. My mind feels more at ease. I guess that's why I keep using the word meditative. It's still hard to fall asleep and I woke up about a dozen times last night.
