Imagine This?

My humble set up

There may actually be some real art on here soon. I've made leaps and bounds in preparing myself to pick up the pace, or brush as it were, and start the painting. The easel has been brought in from the garage and voided of it's spider webs and other insect carcasses. New paint and brushes are soon to be purchased, and the subjects are a plenty.
    

Seeing the hugely prolific nature of the VMFA's Picasso exhibit this past weekend has really spurred me on to stop wasting time and quit making excuses. One Pablo wisdom gem I picked up at the show - never put off until tomorrow that which you are not willing to leave unfinished when you die - or something like that.
   

That also hit a little close to home since someone I know died this year. Not a good friend, but rather a friend of a friend who's company I always enjoyed. She was only twenty nine and spent the last four years of her life fighting cancer with a ferocity and determinism I've never seen paralleled.
   
I'm not saying that I'm doing this in her name, nor am I intending to make this a memorial entry, but it's just got me to thinking.
    

What exactly am I waiting for?
