A Year of Making Art, Day 310: Depressed for No Reason

February 23, 2008  Day 310

I woke up a little depressed this morning, but have no idea why.  Things simply lost their flavor.  I made my drawing anyway, and though it's simple, I'm happy with it:

  Drawing #316  9" x 12"

After that I brought some stretchers up from the basement and started to make canvases.  I really didn't feel like it, but I did it anyway, and when I'd finished five, I felt much better.  I'll make five more tomorow, then gesso them, and I'm good to go.

Laura and Jim stopped over and wanted to go to the movies with us this afternoon, but Adrian said he couldn't disappoint Roxy (our neighbor's dog), so he took her for a walk instead.  I didn't want to go without him in case something happened while he was out in the woods.  He at least takes his cell phone with him and calls me when he's in trouble.

I invited Laura and Jim to come back for dinner, so maybe that will cheer me up.

(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
