Fuckhead finally gave me the go ahead to "suspend" my "efforts" today. Sweet hallelujah, I was wondering how much longer he'd string me along for. Now, I can finish the painting the way I want to, without concerning myself with refined palettes and all that. As a result, what I've got so far is exuberantly bursting with color. I'll post a picture when it's done. Once that's done, I can begin working on my crow skull again, which has been lurking unfinished for months now.
I've got such a love/hate relationship with visual art lately, and I think part of it is because it feels like work, to get everything set up and cleaned up and what not... but when I'm actually painting, I'm in an entirely different dimension and nothing else matters. It's just that starting is a hurdle for me. I've also realized very, very recently that painting is what I've set out to do- I'm good at it, and people like my work, so I need to make more of an effort to make money off it.
...I was gonna write more, but my head is too foggy. Bah.
