Sorry for my absence, folks. As I stated last week, I visited Brent Ozaeta’s closing reception at The Public Trust. I was able to talk to him for a little bit and asked him what keeps his creative juices flowing and how he’s able to create piece after piece. He told me that it helps to have goals and deadlines. This totally makes sense, by the way, and it’s mind-boggling that I haven’t done this yet. I’ve set goals and deadlines on past web work (including this site), yet I’ve never set any for my paintings. Never even thought of it, really.
Anyways, during my web-absence, I’ve come up with another painting idea that has yet to see the canvas, and I made a 2.5 day trip to the Kerrville Folk Festival. Saying that this experience completely detaches you from reality and the daily grind for a couple of days does no justice. You’d just have to experience it for yourself. On that note, David hand crafted a beautiful bass-banjo for the event and made it into the Austin Statesman. We have a copy but are working on getting a digital copy. I’ll keep you updated.
