I've been meaning to post since I finished the work-in-progress from my last blog entry. That was three weeks ago. A whole three weeks that I have been scratching away at lines. Threading and rethreading. Patching, mending thoughts into something sensible.
I was feeling good about getting back into sketching... feeling good about finishing something after such a long pause. And then I saw the date of that last post - the day before what should have been my 10th year anniversary. And quite coincidentally, the idea for how to finish it stemmed from a photograph taken a few months after we were married.
So on this third try, it's finally become clear to me. This post is not about the reasons I didn't blog. It is not about art block, pain or sadness. Not even about reflecting back on the past and what's been. It's simply about completion. So I will accept and appreciate it - the end of a good story; and I will revel in it - the excitement and unlimited potential of something new....
