Sometimes, when I set aside time to do my artwork, I find that I got nuthin’. I mean, I just don’t really feel like creating anything meaningful. The smart thing to do in this case would be to walk away and do something more productive. However, since I have the added glitch of not having fingers that work consistently, when they are working, I feel sort of obligated to at least make an attempt.

Usually, these don’t come out great, and get tossed in the reject pile, never to be seen again by hoomin eyes.

Once in a while, I’ll go through the reject pile and find something that I sort of like.  That’s what this week’s art is. It’s a sloppy thick-acrylic work on a smallish cheap-o canvas, using a lot of bright primary colors. I just threw down a few lines using a Sharpie, then painted over it. At the time, I felt that I had reached peak “meh.” Like it landed somewhere between Kandinksy and Mondrian…with a thud.

Now, it doesn’t look completely worthless to me. Reminds me of a 1950s/60s jazz album cover or something.
