Ode to Donald "Wayne" Cadwallader, 11 of  100  C.T.Rasmuss India ink (2012).

I pour some freshly brewed coffee in preparation for another extended night of painting; I think to myself about how it's already 7 pm, and I'm just now ready to start on my work.. 

"Well I did wake up late", due to a long night last night after completing the above pieces and two others, rounding out 12 pieces in 3 days...I'm partially filled with regret on one hand how I'm always starting late, and filled with anxiety on the other Wondering "How will I ever finish this?"

One thing that quickly enters my thoughts is, "People do this all the time don't they?? people who do production, commercial art, or have to fill such quotas"; I personally don't take part in any such work, so my experience is nil with that sorta thing..."This is different I convince myself!!"  

"I'm doing it for a sense of purpose!"

A War on Idleness, it's my Ode to Vincent Van Gogh, and only after this, am I ready to once again attack the stillness of  the night with a confidence that's required to fulfill the Quest..
