Mind busy painting....

-


I have painted in the studio all day.
I am running out of some oil paints and I plan to take the long weekend off.
I have placed a rush order of more oil paints, but it will not arrive before the middle to the end of next week.
But I need the break anyway.
I find that I am planing paintings in my mind all evening, hours after I left the studio.
Even before bed time, I see globs of paints, colors and compositions in my mind's eye.

This weekend we intend to go skiing, to lay around on the sofa, read and basically waste time.
I am not very good at wasting time any more.
I used to be an expert at it, but now I sometimes work for 12 hours a day or more.
Granted, it is a creative and invigorating work, but still it is lovely to have a quiet mind with not much ideas or errands to memorize.

First we needed to get to the city of Hengchun, where we could take a three hour long bus to the city of Kaohsiung, and then take the high speed train to Taipei Station. The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years storm to hit
