Like the fluttering of little wings.
Damn, but the day so drags.
Monday will be the first Louis Riel Day, so obviously I'm excited about having a new holiday, and also about going to Festival du Voyageur with Mandy and some friends on the week-end as well.
The unfortunate side effect is that it is making today incredibly slow, and I'm certain tomorrow will be worse. Though at least with tomorrow I'm only at work in the morning and will be working from home in the afternoon. It's not often that I can do that, but will-power and dog-power both behaving, I should get good work done.
I've been thinking about art again lately. And yes, I know that many of you have cautioned me before that me and thinking are just a hazardous combination in the first place, but I persist. it's a bit frustrating, though.
Recently I've been having a few decent ideas and I'm being a bit more proactive about at least making cursory scrawls in my travel sketchbook (it's a really nasty piece of work which even has water damage now). So now I'm not really in danger of "losing" my ideas, which often happens to me, but I'm just grabbing the trailing ends of ideas of what to do, but I'm really missing out on how to put them together right now.
Finding that right level of inspiration and determination I should be able to suss things out, but it is a bit frustrating when things haven't quite come together. One concept does see me mixing my drawings with my photomajiggical tendencies... but once again, I'm working but it's not quite clicking.
I guess I should just apply nose to grindstone and see if I can make something out of it... but right now everything is in that semi-frustrating half-baked aspect. Of course, maybe if I actually started hammering on it, that would fix, too.
Or get a better oven.
One of the two.
