i have gotten pretty far. but not far enough.
i made 6 new paintings since the last time we spoke. trying very hard to keep a theme with the compositions, and the colors, and the subjects, and the paint type. jennifer packer kept me afloat. why? because shes awsome, and makes work that resinates with me. she said she deserves to be seen, acknowledged, and heard.
and i feel this.
i too, want to be seen and acknowledged, not only present.
claire and i moved into a new apartment. same complex. but a different number. we r preping for steven to join us here when hes done with school. january isnt too far away.
my australian friend is coming to visit for a week.
i am going to see, meet & be introduced to the navasota city council. I dont talk much, and i havnt really nailed down what my work is EXACTLY about yet. but im sure things will go fine.
