7/31

today
i attended a drawing session
organized by a friend
(it was supposed to culminate
in an exhibit,
but there weren't enough participants
to make that part meaningful)

at any rate
i had a familiar experience;
i go somewhere outside the studio to work,
i hit a rough spot,
but because of the effort
that it took to get there
and because there are no other options
i just keep painting
and
lo and behold
9 times out of 10
a true connection is made

a good objective reminder
of how the creative process works
(1% inspiration, 99% perspiration)
