Just a little!
We’re still on the road, in and out of hotel rooms and the car and friend’s homes… all good, but I long for my cat. Also, my e-mail isn’t working, further compounding the lost feeling. Also, I feel in a rut art-wise, and am aching to do something new and different, but find myself unable to “break free” of the usual… how does one think of things to paint, for example?
I’m listening to the new “Over the Rhine” album “The Trumpet Child.” I like it. (Go to www.overtherhine.com and click the record player box.) Wes is watching hotel television; Steve is racing.
Today I tried to get Wes (well, me, too) the new Harry Potter book but we couldn’t find a bookstore!!! Today’s only excursion!

Postnote: Katherine Dunn wrote a post about artist Ann Broadaway… a very wonderful painter…

Such a familiar feeling. I won’t give you advice on coping with it, we all know you just gotta ride it out, but I sure do know that feeling. And Wow to “The Trumpet Child” – heart achy stuff.
hey Carla, hope your roadtrip is going well. i saw Anne’s link on Katherine’s site and was so inspired, particularly by her thoughts of creating a world all your own. that’s what i feel like i’m doing in my work…one thing i do (aside from ‘getting away from my work’ and going for hikes or for visits with artist friends or reading) is to revisit old sketchbooks…a lot of paintings come from past doodles and thoughts i recorded–and my reaction to them seeing them over time. hope that helps. hey, maybe you’ll take a roadtrip down to taos for a visit sometime…xojenny
