pencil sharpening
now. yes right now, at this very moment, i am doing the equivalent of pencil sharpening. and organizing the closet. and perhaps more accurately, cleaning out the little holes at the top of the ajax bottle. cleaning... thoroughly cleaning those little holes with a little tiny pristine mascara brush. a mascara brush that i just meticulously washed and dried.
there's this piece i have to paint and i'm concerned i didn't use the right paper. ack. i used my favorite paper, but probably not the best choice of paper. it's the watercolor finish. i just know the oil paint will spread all up into the fibers, just the way I don't want them to. so i'm practicing rolling tight little cotton-tipped swaps in my head. the kind that won't unravel.
procrastination. cleaning the holes in the ajax bottle. organizing the closet. pencil sharpening.
ok. i can paint now.
