Girl time

Yesterday afternoon was spent in the studio working on some paintings. Ashley was working on some last minute things for a show in New York, and Susan came over to hang out. There was such a good vibe, and we talked about some pretty girly stuff. Which we all agreed was a good thing! Mostly I was just enjoying the working process and ability to chat while I did it. It reminded me of Undergrad and high school even, but not grad school. Strange... I think in grad school I spent most of my art-making time alone. I have heard from many people that most MFA's take a few years after grad school to recover and un-learn or forget everything they did while they were there. Perhaps I am reverting to the time before grad school then. I recently went through a lot of old work that had been in storage and threw away 60% of it. For many years I have been afraid to do this, but afterwards I literally felt lighter. In fact it was liberating.
