Today, my daughter at Penn State moved into her own apartment. Taking the advice of my chiropractor I hired 4 young men who with my friend, my daughter and I moved her massive mountain of clothes from one place to another with a fair amount of ease. She now lives 12 minutes away now and I get to avoid the angst of other parents packing their children away to school.

After I got home and did some yoga prop and art business I decided it would be relaxing to paint a bit even though it was late and I most likely would not get a chance to hike in the woods, do yoga, wash the pile of dishes in the sink or clean the downstairs floors which are in a sorry state.

I added two more circles to my painting. One is "Fall From Grace" and the other is yet to be named. "Fall From Grace" along "Before the Fall" are a vegan statement using the story of Adam and Eve and their diet before and after their hankering for apples caused a ruckus. Blame it on Eve she was the one collecting their food.

acrylic on organic cotton and hemp

A few glasses of beer last night with my friends, a late start to my day today as a result, lost glasses, mislaid backpack...

So with the exception of delivering a painting I just sold and making some yoga props today was pretty much a bust. No art created. No visions inspired.

A few days ago I did start a new painting which I will I plan to periodically post. The working title of this painting is "Collection of Stories" but that title is subject to change. It will be a series of different seemingly unrelated stories with hopefully a connecting thread.

The first story I'm working on is "Fall From Grace" which depicts Eve walking around collecting food to eat. The canvas is 38" x 38" organic cotton canvas. A 38" canvas is large enough that I can both sit and stand while painting.
