Not What Ships Are For

Going Home
Unless your work involves caring for the aged or the sick (and may God
richly bless you) or driving truckloads of necessities (same!), your
world has likely shrunken to a small space and just a few people. You
are experiencing what it's like to be an artist.
We do have normal person times with family and friends, but there is
always a part of our brains that can't wait to be alone again. To
think, to allow ideas to form from unexpected convergences. Here's an
example.
Once, many years ago, I was trying to come up with a logo for a graphic
designer (pre-laptop). I drew a lot of little ideas on paper, but
nothing was grabbing me. I laid my head down on my drawing table & let
my mind rest for a minute. When I looked across the room from that
perspective, I could see the pedestal & tilted top of another drawing
table in profile. Bam! That became the basis for the final design, &
the client loved it.
So life hasn't been radically different, except that I've been doing
more studio paintings, and also painting things I've found around my
yard. I've also rediscovered how much I love doing small, more detailed
paintings.
But along with normal people, I'm looking forward to the day when we
can safely move back out into the world of face to face. Not sure who
said this, but it's one of my favorites. "A ship is safe when it is in
harbor, but that is not what ships are for".
Enjoy these images from my housebound era.
