Preparing for a show tedious yet satisfactory. The opportunity to stand back from what I have created. To look at things cumulatively. An ego feeding exercise, but in the stepping away from the routine of painting in the studio, the daily habit of it is broken. Sometimes it is hard to get back. The blank canvas not approachable, Threatening. The sketchbook assuming the aura of a stack of unopened and unpaid bills.

(Why?) Unspoken was how long he would stay.
