Ok... today is a perfect example of how procrastination and poor planning equal an unfinished painting. Bah. I'm so not happy with myself at all. I was waffling about going to the Cabaret Serpentine show at the casino tonight (belly dance for those of you not in the know). Finally decided to go... but inconveniently forgot that if I went I wouldn't have time to paint after supper like I usually do. Big oops! So... got home around ten and started a painting. Well... the background is still not dry. Not good. I guess I could have done something quick on a super little canvas, but that felt kind of like cheating... it's my fault I didn't paint this afternoon while the kids were having their quiet time. I don't know what I was thinking... or not thinking in this case!
So... long story short, I apologize, but I did not finish a canvas today. I do know what it will look like and it will be finished tomorrow along with another painting so that I stay up to date. Not very impressed with myself, but on the up side, it was a pretty cool show and I'm glad I went. Saw some friends, saw some great dancing (Colleena Shakti, you are amazing), and to be honest, saw some stuff I really wish I hadn't... but that's just how it goes sometimes. Besides... it takes courage to perform so kudos to the dancers. All of them not just my favourites. :)
Now there's something to think about... maybe in general day to day life we should be more tolerant and forgiving of others... we don't know what it's taking for them to get out the door in the morning. So many people have stuff going on that we aren't privy to... maybe we should forgive that harried person for cutting us off in traffic, or the grumpy gus on the bus... we don't know their story and maybe it's taking a lot of courage or strength for them to get through their day. Give someone the benefit of the doubt. Good night.
