Painting-A-Day: September 10, 2013

Acrylic on Archival Gessobord with 3/4" Birch Sides, 12x12", Ready to hang!

Part of making an income as an artist involves chasing down potential commissions. Today I am working on sending samples of my work, artist bio and resume, etc. to a Children's Hospital that put out an artists call. It is difficult to decide which images of my work to send. I have to adjust each image's dimensions, some with a high number of pixels for printing and others with a low number to put on a cd for web use. It ends up being quite a bit of work, more than I anticipated, actually. So, while I had dreams of painting today, after a week off, I am not going to be able to pull it off.

Part of my life with a chronic illness is that I have had to learn to let go. I have to make adjustments without berating myself. Stress makes things worse. I visited my 86-year-old mother this weekend. She has always been a good model of letting go of things that you cannot control. "Put in on the shelf," she would say, "let God take care of it." Putting it on the shelf today, Mom.  I read a verse in Mark one time where Jesus said something like "she did what she could..." regarding the woman who poured expensive perfume on his feet, much to the chagrin of the disciples. I think he was trying to help the disciples to relax a little on the righteousness stuff. I think I will put that on my gravestone, "She did what she could..." I find some grace in that.

Today I am featuring a previous painting from August 23 that is still available...in case you missed it along the way.
