Started working a job. not the one I hoped for,sadly,(they would only be able to pay me one day a week so I had to give up on that) but it is 'a job'. something at least to get some money together to try to manage this month's bills. we'll see how things work out. Either it will become bearable (it wasn't quite yesterday)...or something else will come up. Day one was ok, day two sucked. Many differences so we have to just wait and see how day#3 goes...One day at a time, D.

My mood was dreeeeary after work yesterday (tears, feeling of Wrongness/confusion) but we drove out for dinner at Janey's house in the woods with B and Yate. She surprise-gifted me with a smaller(PERFECTSIZED) version of my very favorite artwork of hers! The piece that gives me chills.I am speechless/overwhelmed. It is such a huge gift. It is an amAZING piece. See for yourself- Closer Far Away, first piece!:)!You cannot see that it also has depth and is coated in resin and has such an amazing surface/glow/sheen. More gorgeous in person than you can imagine. And perfectly articulating an 'It' we both feel.
Drank wine and ate on the floor... carrotginger soup and grilled swordfish and asparagus and ice cream/cookies mmmmm and talked of art and plans....brainstorming ideas for ways to sustain ourselves financially while maintaining creativity/focus...Possibilities emerging...will take work...can it happen?? How to go about it? Can we balance it? THoughts-a-swirlin.
Then back home late night I check email to find out from MorganLehmanGallery that my 12" Paradise Landing just sold, off their website, to someone they never met(!!!). :) I think this will allow me to Just cover the rent and cc minimum payments (coupled with my paycheck from working)- I had no idea how I was going to be able. Hello small miracle I was calling for.thank you universe.yet again.
I've also been having 10%donation withdrawl...so I can't wait to be able to DO something again, however small. Seriously I think a lot of my depression was linked to this as well. It's an addiction I Don't want to rid myself of. And I need an income to be able to give.

they are video stills : archival pigment prints, resin, mixed media on wood panels.
Here's how they are created (http://janemartinart.com/video_stills.php).

it's a high-end consignment shop. Clothes and housewares/furniture. I'm just much more into cheap thrills and handmade things personally.. Don't like the whole outrageously priced designer/expensive/labelcrazy thing.So it's uncomfortable/depressing for me to have to try to fake it. Would rather work in a gallery or bookshop...but this was handed to me... we'll see. it might not be so bad.*trying to fool myself*
