rainy day
I believe this to be my 3rd entry in 6 months or so. I felt inclined to post a entry today. Even though it is muggy and rainy here in Connecticut today, I feel enlightened. I wanted to share this with my friends and the people I care about. I received a painting from Mr Ed Luce a few days ago. It is a collaborative piece that he and I and Mr Dan Schank will work on in the next month. I do not want to give too much info on the piece because I know Dan will read this. Anyway, today I was in my studio for a few hours. I was writing in my other journal. What I realized was the Ed gave me a reason to paint again. For so long I have been feeling as if I was paralyzed and could not create art anymore. So consumed by everyday life of working and paying bills, that I forgot about the little simple things in life. The things that give us the greatest pleasures. Such as painting and drawing or just having a stimulating conversation with someone on your intellectual level. When Ed sent me that painting he gave me a reason to paint again. To have fun again. He gave me a excuse to be the Jorge Almeida I was 6 years ago. Even though it is muggy and rainy out today, my spirits are high and my out look is positive. Even though I am not completely out of my social rut, I want everyone to know that I am slowly getting out of it. Thanks Ed for being a great friend.
