Day 51 of Year 2
There was a lot of activity tonight getting my son prepared to go back to college. I had less time than I'd like for tonight's print so I worked on my smaller plates. As an artist it's important to accept the ups and downs and not get thrown by the downs. Last night was such a high and all day I looked forward to my studio time, but it was much shorter than I expected. If you are married to product and outcome, these little disappointments can grow into major frustrations. If, instead, you strive to be fully in the process, when the world doesn't conspire to give you what you want it's just a hiccup because tomorrow is another day. And on the plus side, at least I got the reflection and plate reversal right. Now that I conquered that hurdle I have a choice of which way to do it. Take that dyslexia! 😊
