my computer crashed while writing this entry and now i have to rewrite, but i think it's for the best, my computer punishing me for having too much to say...
today has been a long day, difficult to process all the shadows. in the morning i checked my flower pots and saw that the soil was still moist so i did not water them. i made sure to pay special attention to their shadows. the flowers are just seeds right now so any shadow of theirs is subterranean, but i do love to dream about what their sprouts will do... :)
in painting i've always avoided shadows... unforunately. in my mind i thought i was including them in their form in some way and thought that white = light and blue = shadow, but this is honestly a bit naive. my technical skill is poor and it's challenging for me to make something dynamic that isn't already just a silhouette. but now is a good time to improve!
i felt a lot of guilt today and it made me think about the shadows emotions leave. and how the emotions we have today live in the shadow of emotions from many days ago. i hope you will forgive me for being lofty...
in mauri's garage we had a good time with absolutely no touching, it's very nice to hear his music. i recognize his shadow better than most.
i want to spend a day living as my own shadow. i would probably feel less bad for not thinking about my actions.
i'm a bit of a downer today... to ask for forgiveness i will offer a treat of shadows from the movie "Crazed Fruit", directed by Ko Nakahira.
