feels normal

one strange thing about being here, is how normal it feels on some days. since we had lived here before, getting back into the paris rhythm is relatively easy. a familiarity with the everyday things like food shopping and navigating the city comes easily. (that said, there are other days that are tougher. past experience doesn’t make dealing with the official paperwork any easier, it just prepares us, psychologically for the hassle factor that accompanies it. )

j. and i went to the art store to get our supplies. j. bought watercolors. i bought some canvases and a set of acrylics. i love oil paints, but our apt will be too small, and oils are too smelly. so i will experiment with acrylics to see if i can get what i want out of them. one goal of this year is to get my art thing happening. i am going to make art my job- ie. paint or draw pastels everyday and to work on selling them. i will post each painting or pastel on this blog, as i finish them. maybe i’ll show a work progressing.
