A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ARTIST...

Out of bed at the crack of noon.
Trip over cat.
Pose in front of bathroom mirror. Think: "Rubens would LOVE to have THIS as a model!"
In the kitchen, pick up apple from fruit bowl.  Put it back. Think: "This will look really good in a still life." Eat cookie instead.
Trip over cat.
Doodle on envelope while renewing Artist Magazine.  Doodle on telephone book while calling local Art Guild about workshops.  Doodle on notepad while thinking about writing a book on doodling.
Wander up to studio.  Stare at blank canvas and think of polar bear in snow.
Pick out 28 cool colors of oil paint, 20 brushes, charcoal pencils, then find out am out of turp.
Trip over cat.
Watch Food Channel. Consider starting line of abstract pizzas.
Talk to wealthy high school friend on phone.  Check internet to see if phone will melt like a Dali watch in the microwave.  No?  Maybe phone will look better as cubism...
Check Oprah for art inspiration...switch to cartoon channel.
Trip over cat.
Head for bed.  Wake at 2 a.m., inspired by a dream to paint a cat. 
Trip over cat. Think: Edvard Munch must have had a cat when he painted "The Scream".
Go back to bed.
