Dogs of China - #238 (Taipei edition)



Dogs of China - #237 (Taipei edition)





Saturday night sounds


Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy

100 and something days in China - Day 595

Getting back on the 300 100 days in China bandwagon, where I am painting 300 100 pieces that capture my time here...I don't think that was the original intention but that's what it's morphed into now. Clearly there's a bit of a lag and while we are yet to get to that one per day countdown (some of us have been here before and it ain't pretty) I've chosen to be a bit more realistic about it and slashed the number by a third.

Day 595 broke my moping around drought. It's a painting for a friends birthday following a fun night our at karaoke. I literally shook it off. Thanks to Taylor and everyone else.





Rollerskating Jam Saturday

First Saturday footloose and fancy free (literally). Thanks to my co-explorer for sharing it with me. I'll certainly miss her company in a few weeks, but it's been nice having her around for now.

Rudderless

It's official. I'm in a rut and there is no rudder steering this little old ship. It's a combination of things I think - a chronic injury that just won't go away, online interactions with old ghosts, ugly footwear (c/o said chronic injury), not enough exercise and a timely find in a handbag of old. 

What to do... what to don't? I feel like I haven't painted in about a year, but I have zero desire to paint. Z.E.R.O. I don't think I've ever felt less inclined, and I think that is part of the problem, in that I've lost that bit of self. What to don't? Continue to ignore the frustration. What to do? Dust of those brushes and commit to something ridiculous that going to put me in a spin...
