Don’t You Get Bored Working Alone At Home?

Nope. Look at the things I could/can/should/am/will do:
- draw
- paint
- blog
- update website
- photograph work
- sort through photos and refile those used/stacked/piled/contemplated
- plan for upcoming shows
- package notecards and reproduction prints
- sweep the dead scorpions and spider webs from the studio
- write another bio for the upcoming studio tour
- decide what to paint next
- update inventory lists
- look at artists’ websites
- read artist blogs
- read art marketing blogs
- visit a gallery or museum
- follow up on inquiries about commission work/lessons/paintings for sale
This list didn’t include rehanging my work in the studio, wrapping and shipping work to shows and customers, going to the Post Office, paying bills, updating accounting, balancing the checkbook, or weeding and pruning outside the studio.
Are you tired yet?
‘Scuse me, I need to go lie down.
I don’t get bored working at home alone either, Jana. Always have plenty of projects waiting for me. Good luck with all of yours!
Cheryl, good to know I’m not alone in my alone-ness! And, we can always throw in a load of laundry if we need a “break”.
