On catnaps and clutter

Catching a cat nap with my furkids.

The past couple of days I've been keeping busy with various random things. Sorting through cupboards and making keep or throw away piles. Starting to declutter. Why on earth do I still have the full size Canadian flag that I inherited when a friend moved away?
If its not helping you, let it go.

This used to be an oil painting of mine. I really really hated it. I did it for a school project about 14 years ago and it was time for it to die. Yesterday I took it out of its frame and sanded off the raised brush marks, then I covered it with Burnt Sienna and Paynes Grey. @moderndragon now has a canvass ready to go fo a new dragon painting with a frame.

Don't hold on to things. If the memory around an object causes you pain or makes you cringe, then deal with the memory and either gift the item, repurpose it or incinerate it in a ball of fire.

In other news, Teddy is still doing fine and hasn't had a spasm in his leg again as far as I can tell. He is starting to freeze up a bit again but the magnet pad is helping a lot. He will go for his next acupuncture session in about 2 weeks time.

How is everyone? It seems so quiet here lately.

Hope you have a good day!

Yeah I hold onto things too long, then I go on a clean-up and start throwing things away. A lot of times a short time after throwing something out I find a use for it then want to kick myself. life

I know right?!

I prefer the ball of fire method, lol.
No, a nice piece of canvass deserves to be repainted as you did. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see what develops next!

You're right, it has been quite quiet since the rumble of cryptocurrencies in crisis a month ago... I'm sure it will liven up again soon.
 

Artist James Gurney has a solar incinerator that he uses to destroy his failed paintings. That seems just about the right thing to do :)

Ha ha ha - yes, that would do the trick!
