a CITRUS dream

Oranges trigger holiday memories.  So many different holidays, both secular and sacred, are celebrated during the month of December.  And regardless of the holiday, you’ll always find someone whose memory of that holiday is triggered by the smell of oranges.  My mother said that when she was a child, Christmas was the only time her family could afford citrus of any sort.  I have incorporated citrus into my entire sense of winter because it is the only time I can find super sweet clementines.  It is an odd sort of passing of the baton.

Now that most of the holidays have past, it is time to kick it into high gear.  I am attempting another 30 paintings in 30 days. (I don’t hold out a lot of hope of finishing that in grand style.)  Meanwhile I have 3 commissions & 3 shows that I desperately want to enter.  I am no longer a member of the cult of busy.  I don’t celebrate or glorify it.  But I have certainly bitten off more than I can chew. How do you rank your art priorities?  When you figure that out consider this Call.
