Free Art Day 69

4 x 6 Gouache and Ink on Watercolor Paper.

Enter to win!

This is a good visual representation of how I felt today. My room/art space has gotten over cluttered and I can't find anything. It's frustrating. I know where something should be but once I have checked that location and it's not there I'm stumped. An even more intimidating dilema is presented when I put something in a "safe place." I should be thinking more along the lines of "the one place I'll never think to look in again."

I spend a lot of time talking to myself in my head. As if I expect myself to know, when my inner self is as cluttered as my room/art space and talks like a teenage girl on a cell phone. I look at her thinking, there is no way I can follow this conversation (of course the realization doesn't come until I've stared at her for a long time.) 

I'm frustrated. My last doctor said it was a focus issue steaming from my various disabilities  Feels like memory to me. It's a struggle just to think about the order in which events occurred today but, like the doctor said, if I concentrate really hard I can pick thorough it well enough to function. 

Not being able to find things is a motivational feeling, to think positive about the situation. I've begun cleaning. Lets say spring cleaning. It's spring after all. I've included a short slide show of my space. To give you an idea we are a family of three living in a two bedroom so my art lives with me. It really needs it's own room but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I make most of the creations you receive right in bed. I am hoping to get things organized to where I can utilize the equipement I have. I'm starting to get a kink in my back and feel rather lazy. I can accomplish art but if I don't get out of bed to do it... it feels a little less triumphant. Better than nothing.

Oh yeah, what was I looking for that I couldn't find? (This is how my brain works lately.) Well yesterday I said I mailed some creatures and if people didn't get theirs to let me know. I discovered, while looking for some va paperwork I couldn't find, that I had missed at least one atc and Sky Walker the three piece atc set that ended out last month. Trouble is, I put the Sky Walker in "a safe place." So I got a working file cabinet today for a deal and am going to begin the process of spring cleaning whilst looking for the sneaky and curious visitor from outer space. 

As for the space the boxes are all empty for shipping. I have a number of items I intended to sell online, but I never get to it and they just take up a lot of space. It's time to break them down and make something funcional. What I would do to be a professional organizer.
