Sometimes nothing works

It has been a while since I wrote and how ironic it is that my last blog was talking about how everything just works. In the last week my whole life has been trying to spiral out of control. I have a control issue...not the kind of control you might be thinking but my control has to do with controlling the way I am treated and the kind of situations I allow myself to be put into. It is no secret to the people that know me that as I child I was put into all kinds of terrible situations in which I had no control. So as an adult I have to remember to separate myself from the emotions that getting into similar circumstances can trigger. I have come a long ways in my emotional growth and now I think I have been given a pop quiz. How will I score?

Sometimes every thing just works

Have you ever had times when all your painting just works...no struggling or "do overs"? Well that has been the way it has been for me the last few days.
Some times I switch over to that artistic side of my brain and can be lost there for several days. When I am not painting I am researching or reading art magazines. I go until I am exhausted only to fall asleep and paint in my dreams. I keep going careful not to do anything to hinder this artistic ride.
Once I start doing such things as paying bills or something as simple as following a recipe...then its over. I don't know how much sense all this is making but I guess it is best decibed as that "place" an artist goes to except sometimes, if I am lucky I can stay there for several days.
The work I have done the past few days has been fun and easy. I am really happy with the way the paintings are turning out.
Lets hope it all continues tomorrow even though I was interupted while writing this and spent the last hour looking for medical receipts...AHHHH!
Well if anyone out there has experienced anything like I have been talking about I would love to know I am not alone!
