The Trick to Getting to the Studio in the Morning is...

Promise yourself the second cup of coffee IN the studio.

Don’t think ahead.

Have food for the hungry crows. Be prepared.

Go To the Studio even if you have to go back to the house right away for the crow food you forgot anyway. Just be sure to leave something very valuable behind, like the computer for instance. Then go ahead and just try to finish the house chores knowing that your entire life is at risk if you don’t get back in fifteen seconds flat.

Drink the coffee and stare at the latest painting for a while.

Funny, how the clamor inside my head silences when I really start looking at paint. When I really start looking at anything.
