Yesterday, Andrew Simonet suggested doing creative work when you are rested and fed is optimal. I'm on my way to the gym and chose this site before I left. It is a sunny day. A bit chilly but nice to have the sun out. Feeling energized from yesterday's seminar, rest/relaxation, taking my time today (a huge challenge for me) and reviewing a couple of videos from this project so far. The dancing is a sketch, sometimes interesting, sometimes not. The video is documentation and raw material. The writing is reflective of personal, emotional, physical, and social context and tracks the process over time. Dancing in the sun and shadow felt delightful. I've long enjoyed this site for it's colors, patterns, and textures. I think the sites that spark my painting brain are also the sites that ignite my dancing brain. I am going to dance more at the gym to continue to strengthen those elements. Day forty.
