Not Fair

My intentions last night when I went to bed was to spend a day painting and I don't mean painting walls... I had planned on covering two canvases today. This morning I woke up and to be quite honest I think the over-indulgences of Christmas have finally caught up with me. I feel like a racked moose. Yesterday was a day of over eating and over partying... today I suffer. So I put my feet up and did nothing... I want to say that again.... nothing.... What a fine thing it is when you can say that you have done absolutely nothing... (I really want to say it again but I won't because sometimes too much of a good thing is a bad thing)... nothing... (OK so I whispered!)

For weeks now I have been planning my nudes for our bedroom.... along with my poem... I was going to start painting it but chickened out along with not feeling up to it.  That doesn't mean that I've chickened out on painting the nudes just that I've chickened out on painting them without doing a little more planning. I ordered the canvases a few weeks back and I've had them stored in my bedroom ever since they got here. They are perfect. Two nudes. One Male... one female. Somewhat abstract but not enough that you don't know what it is. I have been downloading nudes from the internet all day... not bad nudes but nude paintings that are not in the slightest disgusting (though I do have to say that I hit on some really bad nude websites that I could only handle for milliseconds before I felt that it was just too much for me... euck!) Anyway, I've been looking at all those nudes with the idea of pushing the ideas that I already have and taking it one step further... now I'm ready to start the preliminary drawings. That's tomorrow's job. I also am starting to get the spinning itch again. I'm seeing my wheel collecting dust and every fibre (no pun intended) in my body says treadle, wool, silk, cotton..... and the buffalo of Level 4 calls me regularly... so that will be soon.

Wow this is a two day post.... I started last night and got so tired that I just couldn't think... so here it is next day and we have spent the morning watching Pacific which is an HBO miniseries on the 2nd World War in the Pacific region... very good, (I'd recommend it to anyone with a strong stomach because they pull no punches with the gore)... We watched Band Of Brothers last year which was the first miniseries on the 2nd World war. We will watch one or two installments each day till school starts again.

But since it is 1 p.m. and I'm still in my pjs I guess I should have at it and get to my painting. Naked women and men here I come.... ; } (that's my kooky face).

I'll try for another story about New Year's tomorrow... last installment on Stories for the Holidays.
