Wednesday-

10am

I started the day with a quick visit with the financial brokers at the bank and a quick deposit. Easy come, easy go.

Had an 8 star coffee at Express Yourself. I am digging the pumpkin spice. The coffee went down easy, clean, the nutmeg has a warming effect on the body when ingested much the same as cognac.

2pm

Started off with smaller canvas and the cheaper watery paints I got on a discount. Opened the window to let more natural light in, turned to itunes, select next in party shuffle. The music is a dripping avant-garde guitar riff- I start with orange, hold bottle in hand and squeeze down in the direction of the canvas.

2:30pm

Smoke break. A strange electronic polka has shifted onto itunes. The canvas is more like a painting now, blobs of wet thick paint contract as the air escapes. The weather has slightly improved that it has stopped raining yet I am not impressed since it still looks foul.

The long wait before step two is never on my list of most enjoyed activities. Its rather dull, boring, and only provides a gap of time to address something else such as chatting quickly with friends or cleaning my crumbling apartment. It only heightens my attention to the current state of my environment as I could mess the entire piece up if I don’t have some sort of control over my own desire to work.

Side Notes- Apartment.

The stove has been broken for over a month. The deck is rotting away. The toilet has had better days- the handle falls off because its too lose- the pumps go fishy and you have to jiggle the handle and then it comes off in your hands. Gail broke the paper roll holder. The fridge works well only 50% of the time and leaks, holes inside are masked with painters tape. I want to rip up the carpet. The windows are leaky and all the faucets drip.
