Dreaming about painting

The other day in the studio, I felt more free with my oil paints than I had in a while. I have no deadlines, no destinations, and no plan. I just know I have to been working up the canvas, and that it might take me a long time to get there. It felt so good to just add paint to canvas. It made me love oil painting again. I’ve been looking through my old New American Paintings books with a new sense of wonder and excitement. And last night I had a dream I was talking to one of my teachers from CCA. I said “I just a feeling so great about painting for the sake of painting… at just being in love with the act of putting paint to canvas”. Wish I could spend some time in the studio and just go crazy. I have so many ideas in my mind that I don’t have time to work through. I might be moonlighting soon and studio time will become more and more hard to come by. Deep breathe, deep sigh. I’m dreaming of grad school.
