Tuesday....Mysterious art making...

I feel a little stuck today. I hate those days when you know you have a million things you should do but the motivation to do them is lagging.Luckily Casey made a HUGE pot of coffee before he left this morning and I think I might just finish it to see what i does for me....I guess it is doing something because here I am typing away! haha! So tomorrow I have a show thing at Onyx Lounge on 5th Ave. I'm not really sure what's up with it because my contact for the exhibit did not give me much info for the night. I know I need to have some sort of table and a means of displaying my art, but I think I'm just going to wing it this time just to see what its like. I have about 5 paintings I'm going to take with me. I think I might also work on one painting while I'm there just to draw some interest by other people into what I'm doing....People always love seeing an artist in action. I think most non-artists would agree that the artist's means of art making is quite a mystery. I always get a lot of questions from people who are curious about what I do all day. Their questions usually take the tone of, "So, what do you do all day?" or if they are not that blunt, " How do you come up with these ideas" maybe I might even get a few "Where does this stuff come from." Frankly, those are the same questions I am regularly asking myself. That is the point of keeping this blog. It act as a means to facilitate discussion with myself about my day to day activities as a working artist. Lately I have to say I feel like I have been wasting a bit of time, but often I o not give myself enough credit into what I do accomplish...So it must be somewhere in between.
Let me outline for you a normal day:

1) Wake up with Casey 6:50 (after he hits snooze 3-4x) make penut and butter sandwiches for him to take to work, eat some fruit, feed CoCo.
2) Kiss Casey bye, get dressed take CoCo on a walk.
3) Come back, eat some oatmeal, get in shower.
4) Put some comfy paint clothes on. Play with CoCo for about 10 min. Sit down to look at e-mails, Facebook, check on some work stuff, blog. This usually takes about an hour or maybe 2 hours if I really take my time in searching around.
****After all this its about 11:30...
5) Start working, either I work in my studio or lately I have been setting up in the living room and drawing more than painting because of my new project with fashion design.
6) Then about 3 pm I realize what time it is and keep working but start also thinking about what I will make for dinner....
7) About 4:30 Casey comes home, we make and eat dinner watch some TV. I will spend some time on the lap top researching some stuff while we do this (usually art related) then we wind down and go to bed...
Things I need to remember about my artistic process:
*I must do more researching! Need to go to the library or book store to look at art books...
* Do not by hyper-critical! I have been giving myself a little bit of a hard time and I know that is paralyzing my art making process...
