NO! not this "in absentia", but it's an awesome record*.
Actually I'm talking about my own absence from a good chunk of the internet since late April. I'm just not well. Several issues going on at the same time, nothing life-threatening (yet! teehee), but all requiring the one common denominator that keeps me from completely functioning: antibiotics. I've had a lot of what the doctors call "brain fog" (which feels exactly as it sounds), and for good measure, too much sleep - which is still, somehow, never enough sleep. It's not fun. I've gone back to painting finally - just not at the rate I'm used to.
Actually, I'm posting this today because yesterday I DID have a completely different post related to one painting written up and ready to go. The unfortunate part was that I posted it by accident while it was still unedited. If you have a Blogger site, you may notice the buttons for "Save" and "Publish" are right next to each other. Meaning to press the Save button, I hit Publish instead. I tried to save it, but then deleted it. Unfortunately for me, it didn't save the draft I'd worked on, so, here I am. Oops.
So I'm sorry, I'll have to re-write the original again and post THAT one when I'm able to. Probably not this week. It was much more important to me today than what I've come to write over here now. But, as a teaser - here are a few bits of info and imagery for you:
Progress: the skull painting (work in progress, detail) -
And the update and imminent re-opening of the Provoking Drama Webstore
COMING SOOOOOOOOOOON!
AGAIN!
Thank you all for your patience, either with me or with my work, or my complaining. More to come!
