Downtime

It's funny weather in this part of Wyoming right now. The TV speaks of heat waves in the rest of the country. Here I sit, wearing my second warmest coat while inside, watching as the trees move in the wind. Somehow I should be excited for another day off. A chance to go out and be creative. Instead, I sit here wishing the light were better and looking at the long to do list. Pay that bill, enter that competition... Juried competitions are some of my least favorite parts of the art world. It's all an individually subjective way to sucker artists into lengthening that exhibition record. Art, like everything else in the country is all about a piece of paper and connections.
