Who knew her visit would efffect me inside so intently? I sure didn't.
I was so excited to see her. It had been 9 years and so much had happened. We were two new people. It was amazing and fun to see her familiar face and get to know her based on who she was today.
We had something in common. Common besides rekindling a friendship whose embers had never gone out. We love art. In loving art we both had become artists.
The difference between her and me... she was producing. I was stalling.
I had told my husband weeks before that the difference between me and an artist was that artists actually do art. I felt stuck.
And she was here a week. And day after day I'm in the studio painting. And I love the fact that I can't get the oil off my hands....or knees (your guess is as good as mine). And I love the smell. And the coffee. And mixing colors. Ok, I know you get it.
I'm so glad she came. I missed her.
Thanks Anna for your encouragement, your friendship, and the swift kick....
