I have a superpower, although it's not really a superpower one wants. I can procrastinate like nobody's business. If procrastination was an Olympic sport I'd have several gold medals. In fact, I'd look like Mr. T with all the gold around my neck.
I've been using my superpower for over a week. Somehow by wanting to choose more complicated art to try I've hit the panic button when it comes to actually starting any single piece. I have several photographs all picked out but when it comes to actually putting pencil to paper I flinch and find something else to do. It's easy, I have a bunch of books I've said I'd review, the kitchen needs cleaning, I want to thin the herd in my closet, it's close to (pick a mealtime), I'm too cold, I'm thirsty and need coffee... etcetera, ad nauseam.
I decided today (after I spent two and a half hours looking up new and interesting books I might want to read someday) that I would just pick a damn veggie and PAINT IT!! So, here ya go. A Radish. Yep, just a simple radish. Hey, it's better than no freakin' radish at all! Hehehe.
We'll talk later (if I'm not procrastinating again).
Best,

- I'm a watercolor & mixed media artist who blogs about her adventure in paint. I also love to read so there's always a book or paintbrush in my hand. Hopefully my work speaks to you, makes you feel something. That would make me very happy indeed. Visit my Flickr account to see all my artwork. http://www.JenniferMcLean.com

I love it. and I think I have you beat in the Queen of Procrastination title running.
ReplyDeleteWe must have been separated at birth. I have exactly the same superpower and was just contemplating whether or not I should paint a pear. Your radish is lovely. Maybe you could do the veggies and I could do the fruits, and we could cover all the most nutritious bases?
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of the procrastination thing... Just keep a notebook handy and jot a few notes as you go and you can call it research!
