You have 24hrs to answer each question.

function; not function (alcohol please)

i am driving along a fine line here;
waiting for things out of my control
to really fucking object.
slamming around hard till i can hear
a murmer.. a twitch..

trying hard at something without any
direction it feels.

i'm going to start watching the tv.
this is too fucking traumatic.

whiskey!

where is my paintbrush?

I didn't know I was walking on holy ground.

Yesterday was the first day this year where I could
comfortably sit in my studio without the gas heater
on and not freeze...

so hopefully, I will start to get back into 'the swing'
I have two large paintings on the go.. both of which
just need some time to compose & settle.. and become..

I have spent the last 60 odd days taking photographs
to try and inspire and 'find' something that kicks me
into gear.. makes me look at the world from a different
angle..

It is working as well, you wouldn't believe what is all
around you, the things that you walk past everyday and
perhaps glance at it.. but with a camera you are forced
to focus on it.. observe it.. take it in..
and then you show other people who swear they have never
seen this before..

because they haven't really looked.
