First an introduction to my most recent painting.... " Solstice ". I used acrylic paint on a black gesso'd canvas. This one is a little smaller than my usual at 12x24 and is also horizontal.
So re: balance..... I hopped on the scale this morning hoping for some kind of miracle and was disappointed. It seems that I have put on some weight. So, how do I find balance. When I am painting, i get quite lost in it and I am sitting for several hours... taking breaks only to make lunch and have coffee. It seems that burning creative energy does not equal burning calories.... what a disappointment that is. I need to make some changes here.
My inspiration comes from being outdoors... hiking, walking etc.. I don't want to get to a place where I am physically unable to hike. I also would love to get back into skiing this coming season. So... I am going to make time for some activity each day. I am going to schedule it in. I will start with daily walks, with some hiking thrown in on the days I'm not painting. I will start making some healthier food choices as well. I WILL find this balance.
