2087. that is the number the government has deciphered as the average number of work hours in a year:
"A General Accounting Office study published in 1981 demonstrated that
over a 28-year period (the period of time it takes for the calendar to
repeat itself) there are, on average, 2,087 work hours per calendar
year. This average results from the fact that there are usually 4 years
with 262 workdays (2,096 hours), 17 years with 261 workdays (2,088
hours), and 7 years with 260 workdays (2,080 hours). The 2,087 divisor
is derived from the following formula: (2,096 hours*4 years) + (2,088
hours*17 years) + (2,080 hours*7 years) / 28 years = 2,087.143 hours.
Using 2,087 as the average number of work hours in a calendar year
reasonably accommodates the year-to-year fluctuations in work hours."
SO my plan was to make 2087 paintings.
today I have 6 little guys. im thinking, should i go for the basic 365, or 261 since GAO says there are 17 years that we feds have 261 workdays?
these little dudes aren't conceptual, contemporary art. a probable joke during a 3 hour critique with The Prof...but they make me happy.
So in the end, however many I make,
It doesn't matter. the good news is, im back.
