Fixing Paintings; Find your own analogy!

This week's successes included fixing a painting of Allen Ginsberg, who I met personally in Kent, 1996 about Memorial Day. Also I also fixed a work "after studying Picasso." Both worked out. I started under the mis-believe that all works should be painted to completion. The idea was in the medium doing something I enjoyed would be a fair measure of attention span. I found myself clocking in 12 hrs. straight, painting non-stop. This caused me to throw out the idea. It ended up like drinking the whole bottle of red wine because it is there. Might as well? Then the next stepping stone was seeing that from the quote "a wise man stops along the way." So it is a journey. (new book cover.)


I started to get the idea. Make decisions that are healthy, watch the "alcoholic bet," other responses from a dry drunk/addict. "You are a no-talent" where you are developing your talent. Take care healthily of oneself. A quote; take care of yourself to take care of your art. ... Grab all the tools you can!


My expression of the "creative force" is in music, art and writing. I have introduced making effects pedals for guitars and synths modules lately. It can be zen-like, open-minded, ... solutions for the problems ... . I run with one medium for a while, switch, back around cycling around to other challenges. It keeps me fresh. Changes are inevitable. Changes by choice often prevent forced changes. This week I saw; The intelligent have solutions. The genuis has the preventive "medicine." I have found my soldering iron that was misplaced for the last week. Time to get the "inventor hat" on!
