| My art studio work area shortly after my "art studio redo" |
When I was renovating and redecorating my art studio earlier this year, I couldn't wait to be finished. I kept imagining all the hours I was going to spend there creating in my new space.
Then my perfect for me studio was finally completed and I didn't create anything in it for days. I could say it was because I was worn out from all the work I did on it or that I was busy in the garden, both true and valid excuses. However, the truth was that now that I had my studio just the way I wanted it, I was afraid to mess it up. I would go in there with every intention of working on something and end up just sitting in my favorite chair admiring everything.
Then one day, when I was doing just that, my cat Poe jumped down from my lap and decided to use my new cork wall for a scratching post. A few minutes later she proceeded to throw up a hairball on one of my brand new rugs. All I could do was laugh. It was the perfect reminder that nothing ever stays clean and perfect forever. I got up and cleaned up the hairball and then got to work creating a mess of my own.

Since then I make a point of being as messy as I want to be when I'm in my art studio. I've actually discovered that, now that I have things organized the way I like them, it's kind of fun cleaning things back up. Besides, making a mess is half the fun of creating art!

I love this keeping-it-real post, Victoria! I've been in similar situations with my feline "assistants." ; )
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. Feline assistants are the best, aren't they? :)
