I've started to get back to painting again, but my dreams seem to be all about theatre these days. Last night, I had an amazing dream not just about being in Italy, but going to see a play (in English). And I saw the complete thing in my dream.
I was just reading an article yesterday in the Sunday NYTimes Style Magazine about Adrienne Kennedy, a prolific black playwright who is finally getting a Broadway debut. And even though I rarely watch any awards shows, I did tune in last night and was so proud of Lizzo accepting the People's Champion honor by calling up 17 female activists and naming each one and what they support. It was brilliant.
What does it mean to be prolific? Is that really a subjective definition? Am I prolific because I've finished 41 painting in just over 40 days? Or would I be prolific if I did that while simultaneously completing some other body of work?
I've spent time this week doing more organizing of art materials. I swatched all the colored pencils I have, first separating them into brand and then making small boxes of color. Did the same for the oil pastels, and then the water soluble pastels as well. I have a prolific amount of art materials. I'm going to begin the process of creating scrap journaling packets to sell. I think I'll find some archival plastic envelopes, and get appropriate sized ones so I can put together packets. We will see what we can do to lessen all that prolific material.
