The diptych is preliminarily complete.

Today was an interesting day. It felt about 100 degree in San Francisco, or at least in my living room. My apartment possesses intersection and I get about 115 angular degrees of sunshine. This is great as an artist and I take advantage of it as much as possible. However, in light of the sweatbox effect, today I worked from dusk till dark.

Today was also the beginning of a new go round of therapy. I’ve spent the past few weeks seeking out a therapist worthy of my issues and worth my time and money. I am preliminarily satisfied. I’m a firm believer that the first five minutes of knowing someone dictate much of the next five months of a relationship. Truth or not, we share a good energy. He sits cross-legged in an armchair. Perfect. His office has an amazing view with incredible light that facilitates moments of losing one’s idea of where they are which facilitates one’s ability to speak from the subconscious.

Today I woke up late and now I am exhausted. I worked for four solid hours nailing out the final compositional work on the diptych and it took about ten hours worth of energy out of me. Those four hours were split between doubt, dismay, satisfaction and elation. Akin to feeling like you’re lost on a journey but finding the correct destination, whether it was the lake you had intended or the edge of the ocean you actually found yourself at.

Today was a great ending and today was a great beginning.
