In Progress

It has been twenty years since I've done a load of laundry at a laundry mat.  It wasn't as romantic as it was when I was living in a log cabin in Topsfield MA.  I think it was the time spent that started to bug me.  A book was impossible to read with Journey and Rush squealing out of the tiny speakers.  It is already noon and I finally made it to the atelier.  Three 48 x 32 surfaces in progress and one hand-painted blade sign ready to mount have been calling to me.

I suppose one good thing that came of my laundry-moment was this thought:
Color is subordinate to light and shade. - Atelier Apothegm #1 (I am going to start collecting these so the number represents quantity, not quality).
Now I can erase this off the white board:
Depressing or inspirational, it is up to you. - Atelier Apothegm #2

I still do the comforter at the laundry mat. Same one as when I first got out of college.

I should make note of my apophthegms. (Brit.) I like the extra consonants.

Make note and I we can make corollaries and parallel treatises.
