ok, I know this is my third post of the day but I just found this post from the day after open studios:
“I’m suffering from a little post show depression. I’m super tired but don’t know what to do with myself. I don’t want to be around people. I’m cranky and I have cramps. I am no fun to be around! I left work around 2:30 and painted for a while. Painting was pretty liberating but I was so tired. I had to lug all my paintings downstairs and then to the car, then drove to my house, lugged the paintings through the front gate, park the car, then lugged the paintings upstairs. During that time I decided I was the worst painter in the world and that I should throw all my paintings away. I won’t throw them away, I know this is just a temporary feeling. ”
Ha! I’m a broken record. This hating my paintings thing seems to be just a normal process of open studios.
