Hi everybody. Welcome to my blog where I talk about my present.
I’m presently a little jealous of my friend here. She just got back from Hawaii. I used to go there all the time to shoot. I’ll just go there in my memories because it’s far way and I can’t travel by air anymore.
Before I said that being like the way I am doesn’t really bother me, but man, sometimes it gets to you. It’s tough. The only way to really deal with it, I think, is through meditation. That, or excessive alcohol and drugs (just kidding). I mean - meditation not medication - is the way to go. Although, I do have medication for panic attacks. You know, if you kind of freak out. I never use it, but it’s good to know it’s there, just in case.
I mentioned it before, but you have to use your disadvantage as an advantage. For example: I can’t really hold a pencil, so I use water color pencil to try and make a mark. I do this over and over with different colors. The result is kind of cool. It looks very abstract. Then, I was on the phone with my friend. His mother has severe dementia. She does the same thing. She makes colorful marks over and over. She’s kind of like me. She sits in the garden and draws marks of color. It’s an interesting connection because both situations are neurological. Her paintings are beautiful.
I’m really not gonna blog anymore today. I’ll just think about Hawaii. It’s a cool place. The art director I worked with insisted we go there. We went there every February for about 6 years. Get there if you can.
Anyway, I’ll talk to you next week. Love B. Nice
