There’s Magic in Organization

A friend of mine who started his own business said this to me. He didn’t have to tell me that! I’m a bit of an organization nut. However, I’ve dropped the ball on several things lately. There’s magic in Organization because it can help keep your priorities straight. This is more about mental organization than physical organization. It’s about scheduling. My studio is well organized, but my Calendar doesn’t seem to be working for me. I’ve mixed up my priorities. So I am attempting to tweak this part of my art life.

I am fortunate that there are several local arts organizations that I belong to that afford me many opportunities to show my work. It’s been tricky juggling all of them. which things come first. I’m now putting things into my Reminders as well as my Calendar. I’ve also started labeling my folders differently on my computer. I’ve always made a desktop folder “4” each show, but now it will also have a Number for its priority!

A Truly Odd Art Prompt

So…How do I explain this. I accidentally broke a favorite treasure: a large sand dollar. These bits just blew me away. I had a visceral reaction to them that I can’t put into words. There was definitely excitement and fascination involved. I desperately want to make an art piece based on these. They are so architectural and alien at the same time. Nature is the best Art Prompt.
