When I walk through the studio door fresh in the morning, I usually look at the work on the walls and write a cut list of things that I think need to happen in a painting. It can be a bit like this:
Black blacker
highlight flower
counter circle bottle
shadow
dark red table edge.
In doing this, I find it easier to get up and motivate with a brush, and I don't have to remember the flash of inspiration that happened to get squashed somewhere in the routine of the day. My list also has mundane things like clean table, prime canvas, email, add link, choose 4 for Friday deadline. Some lists take a few days, and it is just another dayjob after all. And it's mine to create and crack the whip.
