timing no.24
how things change in a world, sometimes you are going in one way, then life takes you along another way, so we move with the time and it-is-exciting…so i, think it is anyhow… so my dear friends due to scheduling of my world this artblog will continue…even if the life of tasha is a little busier than i originally thought it would be, this artblog it is important to me… so it will arrive sometime over the weekend, still every week, just maybe not on a friday night…
i really do like writing these little thoughts about my artworld and what i think about things in my world, i hope it is a positive experience as you read and not too boring… who said my life was boring????? no one did! ha ha… so lately i have been thinking about timing and using my time wisely… maybe it’s a beginning of the year thing too… starting new projects, new paintings, new drawings, and new readings too!
speaking of readings….i am nearly finished this wonderful little penguin book on Matisse by Alastair Sooke, it has been so motivating and inspirational toward my art practice. Matisse was such a goer… he just oozed his artmaking and loved the artform of dance… Sooke said, there is something tremendously poignant about a sickly artist finding inspiration in the aerial lifts and pirouettes of a professional dancer performing for him in private. even matisse in his ancient years got a buzz from his creating… i so know how that feels… and i do so love his collage’.
back to timing… now where i am presently i am aiming to use my time with utmost care, it’s the balance of all things, i am thinking zen like, not that i am buddhist, but we can learn so much from each other…. being in a state of calm attentiveness in which one's actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort, which i think is quite damn wise…. but with all things we need to put effort in, and i try to do that, my best effort…at all times…
so my art and life is a balance, making time for the 1. loved ones and making time for my 2. day to day work and 3. making time for my studio practice, three things, that’s all…so i am incredibly motivated for this new year and all that it brings, the journey’s i am to take and the people i am yet to meet…
january is nearly done, unbelievable!
