When a commissioner comes to you and says, 

"Make it a meditative piece for you, whatever you're feeling you need to get on paper. I like the imagery I get, thinking about how much of a book collection you must have. Maybe a picture relaxing and enjoying a good read?"

there is a certain sense of freedom that comes with it.  I miiiight have gotten a little carried away with this piece, but... it has been cathartic.  Its not often that you are commissioned to "do you".  Its not often that I can not only justify the time I spend on myself but really dig deep in to something I really enjoy.  I love to read, I spend anywhere from 2-4 hours a night reading.  If you have read my previous posts and ref sheet you already know I have a veritable library.  I tried to put some of the sense of "clutter" that is my life here XDD  I have a constant reading buddy at all times since his main job is primarily sleeping and attempting to absorb my warms.  And yes, I am nearly constantly without clothes when I am home.  The really nice thing about living alone with three dogs and having absolutely no social or family obligations is no one is ever coming to visit.  So its nekkid time all the time. XDD I tried to bring together a typical night of reading. The shifting positions, change of books, and escape into its pages.

Thank you  so much for Funding my exploration of self.
