Half days

Almost back to normal life. My eyes are almost healed, so i`m working half days for the moment. But i have to confess, i like this way of life, a half day to earn that hard money, and another half day to paint, and do what you really want to do.

The last month a half went pretty fast, two weeks Thailand, one week bush in yulara,one week struggling blind in my unit, one week sick leave and one week on half days. Life is beautiful.
The life drawing course started again on the Wednesday, so i`m back there drawing. It`s hard to find a model, you imagine asking a woman. Hey can you pose naked for me, i would love to make a drawing or painting of you? You see them immediately thinking .....
Maybe just finding a girlfriend is the solution, but i don`t think that `s gonna work. She will be probably bored by just sitting or standing for hours naked under a spotlight without a conversation and touching her. And after a while she starts feeling used. So that`s no good idea.

So, i`m starting to draw faces, again with oil paint, that`s along time ago, damned, i didn`t knew it was so hard. My unit starts to look like a paint workshop, paint on the wall, paint on the floor, paint on the dishes, paint on my clothes, paint on the ceiling, paint on the furniture, paint on the beer bottles, paint rags everywhere, i think you got an idea now. Mmmh, i wonder what the real estatement will think about it?
One thing is fun, i seems to be always high by the fume of the oil and turpentine. That`s maybe why i see those strange lines in the faces or was it because i couldn`t see properly. And i have to confess, i like this painting, its pretty big, it`s 1m20 on 1m40 and i like the strenght of it. Maybe i need that conjunctivitis back, to make paintings that i like.

So, next week back to "normal" life.
