Full Moon

May 23, 2005 01:58

It's almost 2am. I have nobody to talk to. My hands and fingernails are plastered with thick layers of acrylic paint and gel medium. I have been totally insane this afternoon/evening- rotating too many canvases to count. Building the layers...moving on to the next one...and the next one...and the next one... feeling like a painting robot. Yuck. Is this what being a full time artist is about? Mostly for me- but every now and then I have a breakthrough and feel all high, like I'm on a good drug, top of the world, almost God-like feeling. Oh yeah...I live for those moments and definately pay my dues in the meantime. Nights like tonight, though, feel bad. I feel all alone and the moon is full and I feel more like a werewolf than an artist. I've been snapping and snarling at everybody tonight. Grrrrrrrr.... The dumbest things are setting me off on an emotional rampage...RAAAAAWWWWRRRRRRRRRR...I think I'm going to go in the backyard and start howling...or maybe go digging for bones...LOL...Anyways- I doubt I'll get much sleep. That damn moon is keeping me up. So- I guess I'll do art. The ideas are flowing and The Muse is being a dominating bitch and I doubt she'll let me sleep either.
