And:

 It's been a bad, bad week. This is one of the few things I made any progress on.

Begin Again

 It's probably been 15 years since I worked on this. I'm just bored with The Big Six and tired of trying to get things done for shows that don't look like they're going to materialize. The hands need to be worked on.

On A Roll

 I just really want to finish this one soon, so I've been concentrating on it. It's hard to see where I've made changes, but mostly I'm painting out the blank areas.

A Sunday Painter

 Another rainy day meant I didn't have to do much gardening; spent the afternoon at the easel instead. Worked on three of the "Big Six."

Closing Out The Week

I did get a little work done on several paintings. I hope next week will be more productive.

AWOL

 The 3-day weekends and holidays really mess me up as far as painting is concerned. After a lifetime of being in the habit of the five day workweek and two day weekend, I'm so used to running errands and doing housework on weekends and painting the rest of the week. So when the wild card holidays come around, my little brain thinks I'm not supposed to be painting. I end up scrubbing the porch or visiting garden centers instead.

Today is Wednesday, I think; I've gotten back to the easel but it's been a struggle to get my head back into thinking about color and form.
