If you try to hard you will only come up with "the about" and won't discover anything.
Why do things happen? How do things happen? How do I make things happen? When is something worth its money? How much?
Questions in space. No answers.
How can one align intention with action and MAKE a decent LIVING?
In actual fact, it's been a while since I worked FOR money, making me question the value of my DOINGS.
I mean, it's not that I don't work. I work on average 14 hrs a day (deducting 7 hrs for sleep and 3 for grocery shopping/ cooking/laundry and dog care )
But I do not seem to arrive anywhere. It's like working in mining or a black hole.
Six weeks ago I got a commission, hence an authorized production of an image, that I'll eventually get $$$ for.
The brief: A portrait of a person (I do not know) in a style (that hasn't been defined).
I should just write the sentence "I don't know you, but I needed the money" on a canvas of appropriate size. Shadow gap around it. Done. But... I fear that this might disappoint the client and does not justify a couple of grand.
Truth is, I'd probably already earned that amount, had I worked at a diner at minimum wage. That's how much time I've invested so far. Effective as always. Well done!
