I’m sorry this painting is already sold.
I mentioned in an earlier post I would let you know how I performed without the use of steroids just for comparison purposes. If you want some background for this post catch-up by reading Love and Steroids and Art on Steroids.
My ten day period actually ended on April 22rd, but I took the weekend off from art and posting. So you are getting the update now.
How many paintings did I get done on steroids vs. off steroids?
On Steroids:
- Completed 2 paintings
- 90 percent completed 4 more
Off Steroids:
- Completed 2 paintings
- 90 percent completed on 5 more
- 50 percent completed on 2 more
Slightly more productive off! Yes, but one thing that became apparent during my non-scientific test was….maybe I should have made it a “substance free” test instead of just drug free. Yeah, I’m talking about the wine and beer. Somewhere during that 10 day period I lost a couple of days. Not the black out, woke up somewhere strange and didn’t know how I got there, kind of lost, but the kind you have when you are just not up to par.  Perhaps it had something to do with the concert I went to during the week, or maybe it’s the wine friendly and socially active community to which I belong? In either case, I feel a new personal challenge culminating.  It’s almost gelled…
Here it is: I think I’ll try a 10 day stint with no or very little alcohol – that is no drinks during the week and a maximum of two glasses of beer or wine per weekend evening meal. I was going to say one glass, but if hubby and I open a bottle, we really should finish it, so I’ve made it max two. Then let’s see if it has an impact on my productivity. My guess is; it will be positive. I’ll let you know in about 10 days – around May 8th!
