WORKING TITLES, WORKING GRAPHICS
Added 2021-02-17 19:17:11 +0000 UTCAs I have begun the regimen of writing about my spiritual life, to egg myself on in materializing this as a book, I created a dummy cover in all of 15 minutes, by photographing a corner of a Danish architecture magazine cover, changing the color hue and typing on the titles in bold font, then putting on my phone as a screensaver, so that when my alarm goes off at 6:45 and I shut it off, it then goes to this picture, and I am all the more motivated to get out of bed and continue on. I may change it any time in the coming days or weeks, but it doesn't matter, it's just a form of commitment, how it assaults the eyes and makes me get up.
I paint in the afternoon and evening, which has been the case for many years now, likely due to where the light falls in the spaces I have lived in. I used to write without an hour of the day preference. Emptying the mind of words, first thing in the morning, however, is working well for me. And reminds me of Julia Cameron's words in The Artist's Way about the benefit of Morning Pages.
