I tend to be a very habitual being, this is something I do not like about my self and have tried to change at times which can be rather hard when the s.o. is also like that. The good think is, I am not quite to the point of being obsessive/compulsive, or am I?
I don't think I need to bore you with all the details but I will highlight some of the things I do on a regular basis. I like to take the same bus to work, and go on breaks at the same time and walk the same or nearly the same path (indoor when not nice and outside when it is nice). I have several lunch places that I obsess about, throughout the week but they come and go with me (after I get totally sick of one I find a new one to take its place). Happy hour is one of two places for the most part even though I like to try other places, I do like to hang out with the people I know well. There are a ton of other examples, however I do not think this is a problem that I alone possess, it is something most people do to one degree or another.
My point is that, I need to change some of these habits to more beneficial and productive ones. Why not try to take over the world! Ok, how about getting all that energy back into art works and focus on expanding my horizons? I think that is what I will have to challenge my self on and try to document the progress here in a weekly update. I know that this is going to be a multi-process endeavor that I will need to think about and plan carefully to become successful.
Ha, I could call it "deconstruction of the box", not a bad idea for a project and I could also create/start an art-journal (on real paper) to add a layer of complexity, not unlike books like "Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards but different, something that I can use better. Now that I think about it, I might go back to that book as an inspiration to this project but tailor it to my own liking, since I find it can be a bit flowery for me...
***Note to self, think about big picture and think about baby steps also use Chuck Close's new paintings as example to this end***
More on above note as I develop thought...
Ok, my LJ friends are rolling their eyes at me since I have tried this before, however this is a good time for me to take a good fresh start at this...
