I changed gears today. A complete 360. I was just feeling a little
cranky and fussy. Small and intricate was making me mad. That, plus I
had a dream about a painting I’d done of a town map. So that’s what I
did. I started three maps. One of caunes-minervois, one of cambridge,
and one of saissac. I am going to try and stay focused on them during
the day. Maybe more bug drawings at night, but my day energy here
doesn’t seem to mesh well with tiny lines. We hang the show this
wednesday. Who knows, maybe I’ll shift gears again after that.
I’m getting the hamburger meat rash on one knee again. Trying to stave
off the evil blisters with creams. Don’t want a repeat of last years
allergy blisters.
We went for a stroll through the property today and the bugs were
amazing. I got some great nature photos. I’m looking forward to sharing
all the great shots I’ve gotten. Some of the scenes here have been out
of a dream. Totally surreal beauty.
Tomorrow we head to carcassone for paint supplies and a little shopping.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll start a carcassone map!
