The notion that a clean desk means a productive worker is an artifact of the mid-20th century. ... Mark Twain, for example, chose to leave his desk cluttered whenever he was photographed: Albert Einstein famously pointed out that "If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?"
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe? 
Which way I willI go?
Perhaps only the fates will know?
Or is all of this just for show?
Drawn in too many directions on the painting table; time for a more focussed approach.
Cheers for now.

Rich treasures lurking amongst the paint and hobby detritus. Best thing l ever did for painting was buying a roll top desk. I can just pull the lid down over the mess at the end of a session.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alan, like all treasures some are buried deeper tham others.
DeleteMy painting station is cluttered with all sorts of items. I like it that way.
ReplyDeleteSometimes Jonathan the space of a clear desk is inspirational.
DeleteOrdered chaos! Looks like you can work so all good! I have to be organised as I work on a tray on my lap and have to tidy away at the end of each session, it's still difficult to remain focused!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
I also have a tray for prep work and the odd bit of blocking and undercoating; never truly comfortable though.
DeleteI like the idea of ordered chaos, to beat the system (or lack of) I employ 'Really Useful Boxes' to hide everything away in. It doesn't solve the problem, but it does make everything look tidier.
