Accidentally Art
I somehow managed to lose track of time (and my cell phone was out of batteries) and stayed at the studio until 12:30 AM painting today!  7 hours, man.  Anyway, I got a lot done.  I am working on three pieces that should be done for my midyear senior show (Opening Reception Tuesday  December 9 at 5PM I think, in the Dreitzer Gallery), and if Fenreisa smiles on me I can crank out a fourth too.  I painted a silver hand and some mutilated pears.  I'm beginning to think I'm a pretty decent artist.  Please come see my show!

Progress elsewhere is slow.  Grant Proposal is still a maybe.  I emailed the lady in charge with some questions.  Once those are answered and I figure out a budget I think I can make this happen.  I have not gotten any reading done for classes at all this weekend, but on the plus side I've managed to do a lot of pleasure reading instead:  Surfacing by Margaret Atwood.  It is very good.  I don't have either of the books I need for class, so I have to go to the library to get anything done.  Oh well!

7 Hours painting - wow. If I could do that with music, I might be alright. Apart from getting a lot done, did you enjoy the experience?

Yes. I can't imagine accidentally doing something for 7 hours if I didn't enjoy it.

Maybe I should have been more specific. I wanted to know what it felt like. Were you energized, entranced, subdued, held captive?

Well, I was certainly energized. Maybe a bit held captive. I would think that to be entranced or subdued would imply a sort of dulling of my senses or awareness, where I really felt the opposite. I felt the joy of focusing on a task and achieving it.

I finally read The Blind Assassin, and am going to start The Handmaiden's Tale after I finish this book about music and the brain.

Also this is the first time I've done anything on LJ for a while.

I am reading Handmaiden's Tale right now. It's very interesting!
