What do we need?
Being a minimalist always sounded like living in a commune, on a farm, and living off the earth. It is those things, and yet, it is something that we can incorporate into our lives on a daily basis. And that is without selling all of our worldly possessions and moving into a commune.
So, I am making it a point in 2020 to begin to minimize
several areas of my own life. In small ways to begin this journey, I am
reducing a lot of clutter. I hate clutter anyway, so that’s not going to be
that difficult.
See the pictures of my studio? It’s a mess. And I cannot
believe that I am putting up a picture of the MESS. There is so much stuff in
here that I don’t use, don’t need, and don’t even know I have. I need to call
on St. Anthony every time I need something. How can a person create in such an
environment?
So, here it is. My first real project in minimizing is to
tackle my studio. I do not plan to do this all in one day. Yet, I am going to
make it a daily effort to get rid of all the crap I really don’t need. This is going to be a trial, All artists
think they need a lot of art supplies. It probably makes us think it will make
us a better painter. In some things, maybe.
We all know that practicing makes us all better painters.
So, in a couple of weeks, I will take the pictures again.
And will see how far I have come.
Wish me luck!
