I realize now, after taking nearly half an hour to accomplish what should have taken only 10 minutes, that a little caffeine jolt in the morning is a good idea. At least if I’m going to be interviewed. This morning, I found myself stumbling over simple sentences and concepts while trying to describe my process for an online artist’s resource article. It comes out next week.

I want it to say this:

“I have a predilection for chiaroscuro, a technique most commonly associated with one of my earliest influences, Caravaggio.”.

I fear it will say this:

“I like dark stuff, with light, like that dead guy who painted his boyfriend a lot back in the 1500’s. And stuff.”
